I hve just installed emacs on my RS/6000, but:
When I enter into rmail, I encounter this problem:
* signal(file-error ("movemail" "Permission denied for temporary
file \"/usr/spool/mail/ELJwDFW\""))
* (if ...)
* (save-excursion ...)
* (unwind-protect ...)
* (let ...)
* (cond ...)
* (while ...)
* (let ...)
* rmail-insert-inbox-text(("~/mbox" "/usr/spool/mail/fosli") t)
* (setq ...)
* (if ...)
* (save-restriction ...)
* (save-excursion ...)
* (let ...)
* (unwind-protect ...)
* rmail-get-new-mail()
* (let* ...)
* rmail()
Do I have to set up emacs to suid to root, or should everybody
have access to write on the /usr/spoll/mail or what?
