Package: alpine Version: 0.9999+dfsg-1 Severity: normal When you run multiple instances of (al)pine on a single folder, the latest one steals the locks from the former instances, and the former instances know enough to become readonly.
Unfortunately, if you didn't notice that you had muliple instances using the same folder at some time in the past, go back to the old readonly instance, and start doing things to manipulate that folder (delete or undelete messages, etc), then those changes don't get preserved (as you would expect from the fact that it is readonly). But nothing attempts to stop you from making those changes. Ideally, pressing 'D' for delete (etc) would just return "can not delete, doofus" in the status line. Then combine that with a nice sensible keybinding to reopen a folder read/write, and it would be a lot nicer than just silently dropping changes made. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alpine depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30.dfsg-13.5 OpenLDAP libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20071006-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8e-9 SSL shared libraries alpine recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
