We recently put the new version of pine on our Digital Unix machine which supplies email accounts for about 1000 users. Many users use POP clients to access their mail, while our students use pine. Since the upgrade to the newest pine, users who normally use POP clients get the message (below) when they check their mail through pine. The message only shows up when they go back to their POP client again (after using pine) to check mail. Is there a setting in pine to not send out these FOLDER INTERNAL DATA messages? Our POP users get really confused about such cryptic messages, and often swarm the help-line with fears of viruses and other nonsense! Can anyone help? The answer to your question can be found in the release notes for pine 4 or at the Pine website: http://www.washington.edu/pine/
