[Dovecot] "Discarding bogus continuation" message in pine

Running 1.0alpha5 (though I've been having this problem for the past
couple of versions), and using mbox for the mailboxes.

After I've read my mail using Apple's Mail.app (or Thunderbird) and take
it offline, when I try to open the INBOX (or any mailbox) with pine, I get
the following message (in pine):

[Discarding bogus continuation in msg 1:         $Forwarded NonJunk]

Quitting and re-running pine does not bring up this message again, and it
looks like it's getting confused by the internal mbox message's X-IMAP
line:

X-IMAP: 1076598957 0000257269 NotJunk JunkRecorded $NotJunk $Junk Junk \
Forwarded
        $Forwarded NonJunk

The "$Forwarded NonJunk" part is the only part of that line that is on a
new line, and it gets written out like that after I've read mail using an
IMAP client, leading me to believe that pine doesn't know how to handle
the newline in the X-IMAP line. I don't know if this is a Dovecot,
Mail.app, or pine problem, but I never saw this error in UW-IMAP.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
