That's common. Pine, along with uw-imapd and the other email-handling utilities in that family, uses a common library for handling mailbox files. Its mbox handler always deposits one of these "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE..." things in it, to hold some metadata the IMAP protocol likes, I believe. It's hidden by pine, shows up in all other MUAs (like mutt) when accessing the folder directly, or when a different popd or imapd, not based on that library, views the mbox. -Bennett
