Dear debian-user, After running elm (version elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+65-0.slink.0) for the first time yesterday it created the following file in my home directory: drwx--S--- myusername myusername 1024 Aug 19 18:29 Mail/ which is supposed to be for incoming mail. Please note the capital S. Furthermore there was no .elm/elmrc configuration file yesterday, but today there were two of them: elmrc and elmrc.old ... Now when I try to receive e-mail via fetchmail it opens the elm-display, the incoming messages move quickly by - no chance to read them - then it says they are "flushed" and it seems that they are gone forever... But that's not all: After about a dozen of messages elm asks to create a folder with a funny name which seems to be a substring of some part of the received mail. This looks like: rom: "Boy George <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or similar in my home directory, which is again drwx--S--- ... And yet some other weird stuff: I checked my elmrc configuration file and found some options being replaced by text which seems to have been taken from the mail. I reedited the file, ran fetchmail again, but with the same "flushing", with elm asking me to create a "funny" folder and with similar "funny" text entries in elmrc.
I would like to know: - What does the capital S mean? - How can I configure elm properly? -In the User's Guide it is said to run "Configure" which is presumably a shellscript but I haven't found it anywhere. Please let me know, I'm really curious. Thanks in advance, Andreas
