Why do I have a "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA" message?

That's a "feature" of Pine - it's a meta-message that lets Pine share
some information with University of Washington's IMAP and POP servers. 
It's nothing more than a pain for most of the world.

In /usr/local/lib/pine.conf (the global equivalent of .pinerc, good for
the entire system), put:

    feature-list=quell-folder-internal-msg

Incidentally, this is not really qmail-related at all.
