Subject: PINE shows first INBOX message as /usr/var/spool/mail/username

Occasionally, we have some users who find that when they open the INBOX 
folder with PINE, the messages seem to be all grouped under the first 
message

/var/spool/mail/username

Now, i figured somthing was corrupting the users INBOX file under 
/var/spool/mail.  When I opened the file in a text editor, I noticed 
that there are one or two spaces on the first line of the first email 
message...right before the "From" part of the header.

I remove the spaces and the problem is solved...the individual messages 
  under INBOX display normally again.   but, what could be causing this? 
  Most of the users use IMAP via webmail to get their messages...but I 
often troubleshoot their accounts using PINE.  Forgive me if this not a 
PINE error, but I figure someone may be able to point me in the right 
direction.

Thanks !

We occasionally had similar problems if /usr/var/spool/mail ran out of
space in the middle of recopying the inbox to delete messages. The
solution was to not run out of space :-), but when it happened the
symptoms were similar as well as the fix.
