I'm guessing this bug report is due to the upgrade to emacs 20.7. If
xemacs is using the Athena emacs lisp files, then the site-init file
may need some adjustment, along the lines of:
(setq mh-progs "/usr/athena/bin/"
mh-lib-progs "/usr/athena/libexec/"
mh-lib "/usr/athena/etc/")
(We hacked the emacs 20.3 mh-rmail to have mh-lib and mh-etc; emacs
hacked it to have mh-lib-progs and mh-lib respectively. Nasty
confusion.)

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.
