Yarn seems to find that all data files are empty. Folders are present
but considered empty. Newsgroups are listed but considered empty.
"You have mail" but when I press <I> it offers to let me send an email
as if my mailbox is considered empty.
If I do try to send emails, it finds that it cannot write to letter.snd
so it won't fire up the editor.
Upon exit, it finds that it cannot write to my newsrc.
To muddle the water, if I run it with 'yarn -m', I can read my emails,
and I can send emails (editor launched, result stored in reply packet).
If I run it with 'yarn -r', I can edit my outgoing emails.
Just when you are about to blame it on the newsbase, 'expire -o' works
fine.
Any insight on this comical behaviour is welcomed.
I am using Yarn 0.92, MSDOS 6.22, RedHat Linux 4.1 (kernel 2.0.27), and
dosemu 0.64 fresh from RedHat.
P.S. It makes no difference if I install Yarn on an hdimage, a
partition, or an emufs (disk redirector). About the only thing I
haven't tried is "whole disk access", or Yarn 0.89 for that matter.
