===========================================================================
For individual users:

1. Rmail does not work properly on an Iris 4D unless you put the
following into $emacs/lisp/default.el or your ~/.emacs:

(set 'rmail-spool-directory "/usr/mail/")

===========================================================================
For GNU developers:

2. The file $EMACS/paths.el should be modified as follows to make
RMail work properly with an Iris 4D:

(defconst rmail-spool-directory
  (if (memq system-type '(hpux usg-unix-v unisoft-unix rtu
			       silicon-graphics-unix ; <- I inserted word
			       ))
      "/usr/mail/"
    "/usr/spool/mail/")
  "Name of directory used by system mailer for delivering new mail.
Its name should end with a slash.")
