RE: [cobalt-users] Read / Write (?) errors on server - Pine / Majordomo down.

["Ian C. Walmsley" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

Thanks for the reply - this message was actually sent a couple of days ago -
and since then I have tracked down the same answer - thanks.

However - I still cannot send mail from Pine - it still complains that it
cannot create the sent-messages folder.

It worked fine prior to the recent patch that upgraded the version of Pine
to 4.33.

Regards,

Ian.
