Techmail appears to copy my mail to the indox.mfg on the hard drive of my
machine. Although I can choose to hide this box and disguise its presence,
another determined user can still access the box and read my mail. Is there
a way of maintaining the security of my mail short of wiping this file off
my hard-disk everytime I exit Techmail (in which case I would need to
access Athena to read old messages and in which case it would be helpful to
set the option to delete the inbox.mfg in user preferences)?
