The emacs mode "rmail" gives the error message when it is starting up
of "movemail: error creating lock file".  It also will not delete all
the messages in the mail file when asked to (it seems to leave the
first message around).  Finally, it will not grab new mail from the
spool file.

If you have any ideas about what the problem is, please respond to
mmc@ace.sri.com directly, since I do not read this news group regularly.

Thanks!  Michele Covell.
