    There is a known <cough> problem in pine. See below:

    pine crashes with "header size inconsistant" during saving mailbox if any
    message contains X-Keywords line split in 2 or more lines...
    Your post (maybe processed by MTA) contained 2-line X-Keywords so my
    pine crashed... and I could find why. (and had finally motivation to
    configure Mutt ;))

    X-Keywords is processed in 2 functions:
    mail_filter() (in imap/src/c-client/mail.c) filters out X-Keywords line
    and seems to handle multi-line keywords correctly
    unix_parse() (in imap/src/osdep/unix/unix.c) probably doesn't handle
    multi-line keywords
    Different results (different header sizes) causes pine crash.

    The same may apply to X-UID, X-Status and Status header (I haven't test,
    so I'm not sure).

    imap uses the same c-client library, so the same condition may cause
    imap crash.
