Configure ignoring change in size of a message
Patch is available for version: pine 4.64
 
When you save a message residing in an imap server, Pine checks to see if the size reported by the server matches the size computed by Pine. If these two numbers don't match, Pine will fail to save such message.
 
This patch adds the feature ignore-size-changes, which when enabled makes Pine ignore these errors, and still save messages whose size do not match the reported match.
 
It is recommnended that this feature be disabled most of the time and only enabled when you find a server which reports sizes incorrectly, for the behavior in Pine is preventing you from losing data, in case there is a real error when saving the message from an IMAP server.
