I am trying to recover my ~/mail directory.  This is where pine has stored
its email (and I had a lot of it!).

I was able to get off this /dev/wd0e partition everything except that
important stuff in my /usr/Mac/mail directory.

When I do an "ls" I get:

$ ls -l /usr/Mac/mail
ls: /usr/Mac/mail: Input/output error

And, for that "ls", on a different terminal, the tail -f /var/log/messages is:

I *think* that only the directory /usr/Mac/mail is blown away, but that
the files are still there.

Is there some way to recover the files (even though the directory entry
itself appears to be lost)?

Thanks!   -Mike
