In XEmacs 21.0 "20 minutes to Nikko" [Lucid] (i586-pc-linux, Mule) of Sun Jul 18 1999 on turing configured using `configure --error-checking=none --with-png=yes --with-mule=yes' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I cannot read files in /var/spool/mail.
