[comp.soft-sys.andrew] messages

I have andrew version 3 compiled on my RT running 4.3 unix.  However,
I can't get messages to read my mailbox (/usr/spool/mail/grogers).
The system is compiled without AMS delivery and all that (just basic unix).
I looked at setting up an AndrewSetup file, but that didn't seem to make
any difference.

How do I get messages to read my mailbox on a plain unix machine?

The message I'm getting says that messages cannot read my mail from
~grogers/Mailbox.  I've added a /usr/andrew/etc/AndrewSetup file
that has "AMS_MailBoxPrefix: /usr/spool/mail" in it.

Messages is able to find my old messages directory and folders without
any problems.
