IN.testing
Now what's the trouble? I follow the instructions of the faq, send myself
test messages with and without the subject test. <I'm using Pine 3.96 and
I believe sendmail is the local delivery agent on the system>
After doing this I exit pine but I can't find those messages any where
I gather one should appear IN.testing <maybe the a new folder??> but they
just disappear.
I found something interesting
