 considering XEmacs for their own use, or has just obtained it and is
 wondering what to do next.  It is also useful as a reference to
 available resources.

 complain about repeatedly having to answer questions.
 @email{ben@@xemacs.org, Ben Wing} and @email{cthomp@@xemacs.org, Chuck
 Thompson}, the principal authors of XEmacs, then took over and Ben did
 a massive update reorganizing the whole thing.  At which point Anthony
 took back over, but then had to give it up again.  Some of the other

 @unnumberedsubsec Q2.1.23:  Movemail on Linux does not work for XEmacs 19.15 and later.
 Movemail used to work fine in 19.14 but has stopped working in 19.15
 and 20.x.  I am using Linux.
 @example
 #define MAIL_USE_FLOCK
 @end example

+Q2.1.23:  Movemail on Linux does not work for XEmacs 19.15 and later.
+If XEmacs starts when you're on the network, but fails when you're not
+on the network, you may be missing a "localhost" entry in your
+@file{/etc/hosts} file.  The file should contain an entry like:
+@example
+127.0.0.1        localhost
+@end example
+Add that line, and XEmacs will be happy.
