If you have ever telnetted into IOL to check your mail, and then downloaded
your mail using something like netscape mail, you will find a mail in your
mailbox saying "This mail is part of your internal folder blahblahblah".
It's not very important. But.. some mail clients won't see this.. I know
pine wont. Maybe if you were to actually look at the mailbox with less or
something, you'll see a mail like this. How to stop it from happening?
Havent got a clue.
