That's an easier (but not yet quite painless) system to do an install on
than S/W 7.0, which is what this machine is running. I am, I think, the
"original user from DB upgrade hell" as the cyrus folks could probably
tell you.
The current versions of Slackware, I hope, no longer suffer from the
horrible conflicts between the newer and older versions of the Berkeley
DB, but to get all this to build I still had to "cheat" the <db.h> to
point to <db3/db.h>

Thanks a lot--that's exactly what was going on.
My netscape client was set to "empty trash upon exit" but not to
"expunge" upon exit. I looked at the mail with Pine and then told Pine
to go ahead and expunge. An actual delete was performed.
So I reconfigured my Netscape preferences and now everyone is happy.
Thanks again.
