You're right - I've just gone diff'ing my two lib directories for metamail
stuff and they both are almost identical. I've just realised what I think
really caused it - not only did I chmod -x metamail, I also didn't add a
path for "mime(dir)" when I installed 2.7. I've added "set mime(dir)
/usr/local/bin" again to my base executables but left metamail
non-executable now and I'll see if anything happens again - I bet it
doesn't...
Sorry for the false alarm.
cheers,
