Hi Jacob - I have a similar problem with my fetchmail program. It is rare, but seems to be specific to a particular message when it happens. My solution has been - forgive me - to boot to DOS and retrieve the mail from my ISP with nettamer, which has never failed to read the stuff. I have no idea what the problem is, but would bne interested to know more about your particular "plan b" using pine.
