pine shows directory listing instead of contents of cur directory

[cgonan]

I moved my qmail server from solaris to redhat linux and pine is used to as the mail client, using maildir format. Each month I create a new inbox under ~user/mail/ for the prior month's email. Since running on linux, some of the Inboxes display a directory listing of the Inbox instead of the cur folder. Even if you select the cur folder, it displays the contents of the directory.

This does not happen for every directory and there doesn't appear to be any difference between them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Man I'd love to help ya, but that sounds like a pine forum question. qmail isn't even at issue. You've got Maildirs and pine is confused. Agree?

I learned what the problem was. The version of pine on redhat wanted each Inbox to have a cur, tmp, and new folder. The versions they were using on Solaris did not require this, so if it saw cur, it opened it. Once I created the empty directories in the Inbox I created for the previous months mail, it opened cur automatically.
