The problem was movemail. mail-source-movemail-program wasn't set, and the default value mail-source.el was looking in exec-directory, which didn't have it. Setting the variable manually to "/usr/bin/movemail" solved the problem loading mail from my mail spool. Doesn't explain why toggling debug-on-quit made the message go away, of course. Is this a packaging problem? Should I file a bug with debian? Or should mail-source.el check the path for movemail? -- Jeremy Hankins
