It is a browser? > You can browse files and imap mailboxes -- that includes imap mailbox hierarcy > and local directory structure.

I didn't know it now had imap support. Pop too? In any case, I am not interested in new features, useful though they may be to other people! I simply want it to continue working as well as it has always worked ... > That is on chapter "Folder and file browser" on file README.ME+ Never read it, I'm afraid. I don't use any language features. I strip everything to straight ascii, and mail in 8bit. As a matter of fact, I would like everything to be treated as 8bit and that's that, but sometimes people send me things with weird charsets in, and then I have to add another charset to the list of us-ascii equivs in the config file! Otherwise I can't edit a reply, because elm gets rid of the contents, claiming it can't understand them. > (That file is on top level directory on Elm ME+ distribution.

I'm quite willing to translate, provided I can find out what it was intended to mean in the first place. I however have been unsuccessful so far in getting elm to compile with only dotlocking, it appears. At any rate, this version (95) is currently hanging and counting up to 7 trying to lock my mail in an NFS directory mount: Timed out on locking mailbox. Leaving program. You have new mail in /usr/spool/mail/ptb sh-2.03$ ls -ld /var/spool/mail drwxrwxrwt 6 mail mail 164864 Jun 5 16:19 /var/spool/mail sh-2.03$ ls -ld /usr/bin/elm -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 396032 Jun 4 17:04 /usr/bin/elm and I don't see any reason why. This looks like it's not doing dotlocking. I've mounted the directory nolock, but no change: arpa:/var/mail on /var/spool/mail type nfs (rw,soft,intr,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nolock,addr=163.117.139.31) What I did was go into the Configure file and add has_flock= has_fcntl= which as far as I can see, should do the trick. What's wrong with using an ordinary autoconf? How am I supposed to set particular options? Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
