Dear Mr. Stallman:

I am writing to say that I like emacs very much.  I am not a very
sophisticated user, but I greatly enjoy the portability and flexibility
of the program.  I have run into one problem when using emacs on the
MIT Supercomputer, a Cray-2.  When I issue the command
M-x rmail
50% of the time emacs hangs, and I must kill the process.  If I then
run emacs again, and again call for rmail, it accesses my mail normally
and works fine.  The step it hangs on is the "getting mail from ... "
step.  Somehow it asks the mailer for the mail in a funny way, I guess.
Just thought you would like to know.

Sincerely, 
Andrew M. Rappe
