System name:		opus
Type and version:	IP22 0.8F
Display type:		UNKNOWN video

What were you trying to do?
	Read my mail in RMAIL in emacs19.30 (which has been installed
	as /usr/athena/bin/emacs19 in the beta syspacks)

What's wrong:
	It says `Wrong type argument: stringp, local-inbox' whenever
	I try to inc new mail. It does this even if I start emacs19
	with `-q' to make it ignore my .emacs file.

	I _can_ get it to inc my mail by typing ^u M-x rmail ^a ^k 
	po:danw [RETURN], but that only works once (unless I manually
	delete the temp file it creates afterward).

	This happens to me on both suns and sgis with the new
	syspacks.

What should have happened:
	It should inc my mail without my having to have semi-arcane 
	knowledge of movemail's inner workings.
