Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.4.19
Display type:		cgsix

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh

What were you trying to do?
	Send email from XEmacs

Sequence of actions:
	add xemacs
	xemacs &
in xemacs:
	M-x mh-rmail
	m (in +inbox buffer)
	

What's wrong:
	Error message:
	Can't find components file "/usr/athena/libexec/components"


What should have happened:
	A new mail message window should have appeared

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
A quick look at the Lisp source code seems to indicate that
the code is looking for a skeleton message file in 
/usr/athena/libexec/components, which is not there.
That file is instead located in /usr/athena/etc.


Lisp backtrace:

  signal(error ("Can't find components file \"/usr/athena/libexec/components\""))

  apply(cerror "Can't find components file \"/usr/athena/libexec/components\"")
