The following message appears when invoking rmail in xemacs on a rs6000. movemail: permission denied for temporary file "/usr/spool/mail/EJCICrx" The easy solution is to change permissions of /usr/spool/mail. I hesitate to do that since the permissions are so different from other machines, that it might be opening up some sort of security hole. Has anyone dealt with this in a sane way? We're running 18.56, which is otherwise almost perfect on these machines. Thanks for any info. -- Disclaimer: I didn't do it.
