===========================================================================
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.")
