+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This is loaded into a bare Emacs to create the blessmail script,
+;; which (on systems that need it) is used during installation
+;; to give appropriate permissions to movemail.
+;;
+;; It has to be done from lisp in order to be sure of getting the
+;; correct value of rmail-spool-directory.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+;; These are no longer needed because we run this in emacs instead of temacs.
+;; (message "Using load-path %s" load-path)
+;; (load "paths.el")
+;; It is not safe to load site-init.el here, because it might have things in it
+;; that won't load properly unless all the rest of Emacs is loaded.
