- In looking over a package recently that I wanted to integrate into
- my mail handling which is mainly done through emacs, I found this
- program created a variable lock filename, the default of which
- was '<foldername>.lock'. Concerned that this might not be the
- proper file to make the movemail program properly respect having
- the file locked, I searched to discover what the actual format
- required was, but only found out it was equivilent to that of
- /bin/mail, which had no info for me. Could someone please
- enlighten me as to the proper lock filename structure to tell
- it to use?
