Once messages which have been marked for deletion have been Expnged (X) 
or implicitly expunged (by exiting Pine and allowing it to expunge your 
folder) they have been permanently removed from the file containing the 
mail folder.

Your only hope is to go and be VERY nice to the person(s) who manage your 
computers and ask them if it is possible to get the file(s) in question 
back from the security dumps.  (This assumes that they periodically make 
such dumps, copying the computer's disks to tape, etc.)

What happens next depends on their policy: here we would be very 
reluctant to do so unles the message(s) were EXTREMELY important and the 
information could not be re-requested; it takes some hours to restore 
files from our dumps.

Cheers,
