[Dovecot] Mail Answered status flag in pine stopped working in rc19

The Flag indicating that a message has been Answered does not work in pine. The status flags for New and Deleted work as always. The Answered flag worked properly in dovecot 0.99, but after upgrading to 1.0rc19 it stopped working. Interestingly, mail that was answered before upgrading to rc19 still shows the proper flag.

I have tried with mbox_dirty_syncs turned on and off and I have tried putting "flags" in mail_cache_fields. Obviously I am wandering in the dark.

Here is the setup:

pine 4.64 dovecot 1.0rc19 (installed from rpm dovecot-1.0-2_40.rc19.el4.at.i386.rpm) Centos 4.4.2 x86

mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=%h/.mailspool/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot_indexes\/%d/%n

Inbox is NFS mounted, INDEX is on local disk

Thanks.
