  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25
  26 ;; This is loaded into a bare Emacs to create the blessmail script,
  27 ;; which (on systems that need it) is used during installation
  28 ;; to give appropriate permissions to movemail.
  29 ;;
  30 ;; It has to be done from lisp in order to be sure of getting the
  31 ;; correct value of rmail-spool-directory.
