dovecot - Oct 2004 - Period at end of folder in Pine

When using folder-name completion, Pine sticks a period at the end of 
dovecot mediated IMAP folder names.  This is invalid, of course, and I end 
up having to backspace the period to use the proper name.

Anyone have a clue on a workaround?  I'd imagine this is a FAQ type 
issue....

Thanks,

Doug
