When I logged on today and opened mail I got an error saying unparsable
date format. It didn't seem to be affecting me at all though other than it
kept beeping at me for awhile. When I quit pine to do something (planning
on returning in a moment) it was fine. When I reopened pine I got a
message:
[inbox (file /usr/spool/mail/ac213) is not in valid mailbox format]

and now I can't open my inbox! I've got easily another 50 messages that I
can't read now! Help!

I've sent this to csuite-tech too in case it needs to be fixed in the
distribution too.

Update!: I'm now writing this message from a mailto link that I created in
another window as my original bug report hung when I tried to send it from
inside pind. (it's hung on sending mail 0%)
