When there's an mbox file in your homedir and you use pine to read your e-mail, the mails are moved over from out of your /var/spool/mail/what-ever to the mbox file. Removing the mbox file usually also stops this behaviour. If there are any mails you want to keep in there, then of course move them over to another folder or even back into your mailspool. -- Riemer Palstra // riemer@palstra.com // http://palstra.com/ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
