Why do you not have the same problems?  Because you are running a
completely different operating system, is why.

First problem: movemail for Windows NT/95, as distributed in ntemacs,
has had the mail file moving functionality disabled due to the fact that
file locking under Samba does not work at all.  With this disabled the
only thing movemail does do is download mail from a POP server.

Second problem: end of line characters on a FAT file system are
different from Unix (and I suspect OS/2), and this causes the regular
expressions in Gnus (and who knows what else) to fail miserably.
