Rod,

Thank you for prompting me to get off my butt and track this down. It's
been driving me nuts since I applied the lastest Pine RPM. I think this
link addresses it
http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/mbox.html

I just tried the work around and will know in a few it that fixes it.
I use Mozilla from a workstation at home and pine when I'm remote. It's
bothered me that my mail keeps getting moved into $HOME/mbox.

Regards,
Tom

But, this is horrible for being notified at the commandline from /usr/bin/mail about new incoming mail, and of course also for my web-mail interface.
