Hello,
Pine leaves a "pseudo-message" in the mail spool which causes bash to
always state "You have mail." when logging on. Apparently this is to
support something called marking messages as Answeared when a reply is
postponed and to support pop and imap servers. I can suppress Pine's
leaving a message in the folder is I do not mind loosing this support. I
don't use these features so I am tempted to just suppress the function,
but if there is a way to get bash to ignore this pseudo-message then I
would prefer to do this since who knows, I may decide to use the other
features (especially the pop server) at a later time. Can anyone tell me
how to get bash to ignore the pseudo-message when deciding if you have
new mail.
