Read-only /var/spool/mail problems

[Glenn Burkhardt]

Does Balsa allow you to use a POP server?  If so, you could use it
to manage the spool area.

You might also try the mail clients that come with KDE or Gnome.  But try
the kmail that comes with KDE 2.x; there were bugs in its handling of
attachments in the earlier version I had tried.  In particular, if there
was an attachment and no other message body, it would get confused.  I 
believe it was fixed.
