Deleted 1.5 years worth of Sent Mail

Yesterday Pine prompted me to save sent-messages as sent-messages-dec-2002. It does this every month. I always say yes. Then it prompts you asking to delete sent-messages-monthprior, for each folder you have. Well, I had about 16 folders. So Each month I get the prompt, press Y, then N repeatedly until it stops asking.

Well yesterday I was doing something with the kid, and wasn't paying attention. So I pressed N for the first question, then Y repeatedly. Which means I deleted every sent message since roughly mid 2001. Doh!

I love having it. It's something I go though when I'm really bored.

Had you notified me right away, I could have pulled it from my hourly backup. ;-)

Darn. I didn't know you were doing that. :(
