Rob, Sorry I took so long to respond, but my mail system was misconfigured and I got tired of sending out mail with bad headers (sgore > srgore). I installed and purged emacs20.3-7, and still have the following in /etc/suid.conf: emacs /usr/lib/emacs/19.34/i386-debian-linux/movemail root mail 2755 emacs /usr/lib/emacs/20.3/i386-debian-linux-gnu/movemail root mail 2755 I haven't attempted to edit these lines manually, and am willing to leave them if you need a test case for a fix.
