Continue? (yes or no) popping up in my minibuffer when I hit `g' in the group buffer. ("Drept" is Norwegian for "killed".) It doesn't happen every time, just often enough to be severly annoying. It seems that movemail always dies _after_ it has done its job (moving everything from /var/mail/gs234 to ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box,) so this is no more than an annoyance. Unfortunately I'm finding this rather hard to debug. movemail is suid so that it can manipulate my mail spool, and the intermittent nature doesn't help either. Is anyone else seeing this? -- Gaute Strokkenes http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~gs234/ I just bought FLATBUSH from MICKEY MANTLE!
