Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode)
_______________________________________________

My /var/spool/mail directory has permissions drwxrwxr-x (775)
When I start pine, I get this error:

[Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection]

Changing the permissions to 1777 fixes the error, but doesn't that make my
mailbox _more_ vulnerable?

Is this a bug in pine?
