 ZSH> I've removed pop3-movemail-file-coding-system in both Gnus CVS and
 ZSH> Emacs 21 CVS.

For people reading this on ding who might be confused, note that the
coding system should be bound non-nil when writing the crashbox.  (It
now is, even if the variable added by the Mule maintainer has been
removed).  That was not done in the version merged into the Emacs
repository from Gnus when we found we weren't being sent changes.

Note that Emacs asks the question that was the subject of the bug
report to avoid corrupting the data by using an unsafe coding system.
This seems not to be the case in XEmacs.
