Can you link the other way?

ie. ln -s /mnt/fat/mailfolder /mnt/ext2/mailfolder

.. where your FAT partition can be your logical tree, but the mail will
actually be stored on an ext2 partition somewhere completely different
(perhaps /var/ or /usr instead of the example /mnt/etx2/) ?

This way you should be able to access the mail folder from FAT OS's as well
as pine's file locking issues.

... Just thoughts.
