139 ** Mail spool locking now works correctly.
140 XEmacs has always come with a little auxiliary program, movemail,
141 which moves mail out of the system's spool area into user storage. To
142 coordinate between XEmacs, the mail delivery agent, and other mail
143 user agents, movemail needs to properly lock the spool file before
144 moving it. Movemail now correctly respects the --mail-locking option
145 to configure. Moreover, movemail's locking behavior can be specified
146 at run-time, via a new command-line option -m to movemail, or through
147 the environment variable EMACSLOCKMETHOD.
148
149 When installing XEmacs, make sure you configure it according to your
150 environment's mail spool locking conventions. When you're using a
151 binary kit, set the `mail-lock-method' variable at startup, or the
152 EMACSLOCKMETHOD environment variable.
