If your mail spool is not writeable, and you cannot use POP, you can obtain an alternative movemail program. We recommend obtaining a copy of GNU movemail, which is part of the XEmacs distribution available via anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1) in the directory /pub/xemacs/. The most up-to-date list of distribution sites can always be found on the XEmacs WWW page, http://xemacs.cs.uiuc.edu/. Hope this helps. __ John Murray jmurray@vt.edu
