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