I had the same problem. I discovered that it was ocurring because for some reason I don't understand my ~/.pinerc file had acquired root permissions and so couldn't be altered. You need to change the permissions as root. I don't know what can be done to prevent this from happening in the first place. -- Anthony Campbell Using Linux - Windows-free zone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.achc.demon.co.uk -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
