- I'm having the same problem, also after "fooling around". Specifically,
- I moved several binaries between /bin and /etc/bin (after copying both
- directories to a safe place in case I broke something). Mail broke,
- so I restored the saved directories. Mail's still broke as Marc described.

- Sigh. Did someone say something about not fixing what ain't broke?
