This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system
software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be
re-created
with the data reset to initial values.
I get this all the time, but don't know how to stop [or have pine
ignore] it.
