A mailbox near and dear to me is suffering corruption issues. Mailutil (and pine, etc) reports the following:

Unexpected changes to mailbox (try restarting): \

This is very strange; this error message should never happen when opening a mailbox for the first time. This error message occurs only with traditional UNIX mailbox files.

It basically is saying that newly read contents of the file do not have a "From " header. But, it would not have opened the mailbox as traditional UNIX format if there wasn't a "From " header at the start of the file.

Have you made any modifications to the software, or acquired it from a third party?

Do you have an /etc/c-client.cf file, and if so what are its contents?

Would you mind sending a copy of the file to me (not the list) as a MIME attachment so that I can analyze the file?

Thanks, and sorry for the difficulties.
