Hi all, my PCPINE problem is all but solved... it seems in my memory of chopping up another giant unix INBOX, probably because it was so large(21MB) that when I chopped it up the cut-offs must have come right at or near enough to the top of the full message headers cause when I chopped up this smaller(8MB) mailbox PCPINE wouldn't recognize the renamed with .MTX extension parts as folders until I trimmed the cut in half e-mail at the cut-off point down to the top of the next e-mail's full header for each part/folder it took me two days to figure this out(really to figure out again how to use the text editor BINGO and making sure my keyboard was entirely plugged in) sorry for any undue concern caused, Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philadelphia, PA USA On Mon, 15 Oct 2001, ANDY wrote: > Dear comp.mail.pine, > > PLEASE HELP!
