Well, anything is possible, but I haven't updated jpine since it was
installed, and I don't know how to change my mailbox link, so if I did
something, it was a doozie of an accident :-)


>Try running both pine and jpine from the command line.  Note that pine


It happens to both of them.  Of course, going SU and running them lets them
both work :-)

I may just sledgehammer it and reinstall jpine.  I'm know I'm not supposed
to take that approach - it's not Windows, after all :-)   - but once this is
fixed I'll really be able to spend most of my work day in Linux, so I'm
looking forward to getting it sorted out. A sledgehammer might be my
shortest route from point A to point B :-)

Thanks,

Jonathan
