Read-only /var/spool/mail problems

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I generally don't use Netscape for email, but I did use Netscape for email 
at Raytheon on an HPUX system.
Under edit/preferences/Mail&Newsgroups/Formatting there is a button to 
select the proper composer. If you click on "use the plain text editor for 
composing messages" you will send out plain text only. If you selected the 
html composer, you have more formatting options. I do not recall Netscape 
ever sending out html when using the plain text composer. (This is on the 
4.7x version). On Netscape 6.0, the options are quite different. I would 
not put it past them to add a random html generator.
BTW: AOL 6.0 does not even allow the person to chose, it is always html.
