I'm an mbox user, where my inbox is a file like /var/spool/mail/don.  After this
morning's security announcement I upgraded from pine 4.44-r4 to 4.50-r1. 
However after that my inbox didn't have my mail.  My saved message folders were
there and read fine.  I looked in /var/spool/mail/don and all the new mail was
still there and piling up.

So I commented the maildir support patch and re-emerged and it works now, after
warning me that /var/spool/mail needed to be chmod 1777.

FYI.

pine-4.50-r3 has been released into portage.  The ebuild now properly supports
the mbox USE variable.
