This patch changes the behavior of Pine when you enter a folder. If the patch is applied you will see the number of new messages in that folder/newsgroup, if any. This is important for people that sort their folders (by default) in a sorting order different than by Arrival, as this information allows you to decide if you should keep looking for new messages in the folder or not.
Explicitly, you would get a line like:
[Opened folder "INBOX" with 5 messages - 1 new]
