Hello!
I am on ATHENA-PO-2 running the "mail-server-hosing" part of
'.zephyr.desc.' It seems I have two ways of receiving notification of
new mail.
1) I get a zephyrgram that says I have mail, like it should.
2) I get a message in my login window (where I start zwgc) that says:
-ERR unable to lock mail drop: "/usr/spool/pop/drmorris"
The two are mutual exclusive. I did not have this problem when I had
the "mail-server-hosing" code commented out.
