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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMblyXJ6VRH7BJMxHAQGA9wQAxWCgGBxnYMpRSCrmJnPv8+cW1sx73JA5 dPTBtKoukOrFfAwoDxDqUOetdID84yWKI88Xy1ifKbniSeE4zSTDMo7xSRQunQ/4 Rm9Tj1LM17EQxn6cv1rH7/t8TZst6GajAuSESJwMysZ8NgT8sJlidHv3eIZNv3Mc jdq80ndTtXA= =CoEu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Richard Pieri/Information Services \ When in doubt, cop an attitude. -A cat's \ guide to life http://www.dfci.harvard.edu/ \
