  11. Hi...
  12.  
  13.     Awhile back I asked about the problem that arise when
  14. one user send email to another and that the newly created folder
  15. becomes owned by the sender...well...I have more:
  16.  
  17.     If the receiver tries to read the folder with elm, it
  18. says no permission...if the receiver uses the mail command, it
  19. reads it fine...but if the receiver, or any user for that matter,
  20. tries to do a 'mail -f /usr/spool/mail/$ANYFOLDER', he can
  21. read anyones folder.
  22.  
  23.     Ideas? Suggestions?
  24.  
  25. Marc
