            Bug ID: 228833
           Summary: editors/emacs: GNUS fails to find movemail program
                    after update to 26.1
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: emacs@FreeBSD.org

With the update to emacs 26.1, GNUS fails to find the movemail program with=
out
manual configuration.  I see that the emacs internal movemail program now i=
sn't
any more installed when the MAILUTILS config option is turned on.  Perhaps =
it
isn't even built then?

Possible fixes (with MAILUTILS option on):

* create a link at install time from
/usr/local/libexec/emacs/26.1/amd64-portbld-freebsd11.1/movemail to
/usr/local/bin/movemail

* change the default of mail-source-movemail-program in
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.1/lisp/gnus/mail-source.el.gz to
"/usr/local/bin/movemail"

The workaround is simple:

(setq mail-source-movemail-program "/usr/local/bin/movemail")

but I think this should work out-of-the-box!
