I have Pine 3.89 (UNIX) and it just flat won't work for deleting a file
from the filelist, though it works great for all other list management
tasks.  It could be a difference in how it is installed (over which I
have no control) as I have had accounts at various places, all with the
same version of a particular mailer, and the mailers have worked
differently at each place.  I guess the point is, know how your
mail system(s) work(s), as installed at your site, and be prepared to
switch to a mailer other than your favorite if it won't do what you
want it to do.  Whatever it takes to get the job done.  ;-)
