I do know that even without write access to the spool pine knows and appropriately bails when you start two copies of it. When you get new mail with pine open, it simply updates the list saying you have new mail. It would seem to me that it just keeps scanning the mail spool file and loading it. Though I do not know any of the actual details. ... : So you end up fetching the same tarballs as before -- pine code : and the c-client code.
