Version? I've been using pine as my primary MUA for nearly a decade on
various systems and have never seen this behavior exibited. I just spent
about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to make it happen, and
discovered this:

OPTION: Index-Format

This option is used to customize the content of lines in the MESSAGE INDEX
screen. Each line is intended to convey some
amount of immediately relevant information about each message in the
current folder.

Pine provides a pre-defined set of informational fields with reasonable
column widths automatically computed. You can,
however, replace this default set by listing special tokens in the order
you want them displayed. <snip>

You get the idea. Main screen --> Setup --> Config and page down to the
end. You must have some strange format option set that monkeyed with the
default.
