  25 ;;; Commentary:
  26
  27 ;; This is loaded into a bare Emacs to create the blessmail script,
  28 ;; which (on systems that need it) is used during installation
  29 ;; to give appropriate permissions to movemail.
  30 ;;
  31 ;; It has to be done from lisp in order to be sure of getting the
  32 ;; correct value of rmail-spool-directory.
  33
  34 ;;; Code:
  35
  36 ;; These are no longer needed because we run this in emacs instead of temacs.
  37 ;; (message "Using load-path %s" load-path)
  38 ;; (load "paths.el")
  39 ;; It is not safe to load site-init.el here, because it might have things in it
  40 ;; that won't load properly unless all the rest of Emacs is loaded.
