Re: rmail passing movemail an option it doesn't like

As a preliminary test, I started emacs -q --no-site-file
copied (rmail-movemail-variant-p)
into *scratch* and C-x C-e'd it, then M-x rmail
worked without the error, strongly supporting the hypothesis that
calling this for its side-effects is just what's needed :-)

Then I became root and patched the file.

In end of data:
rmail.el:4259:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be defined:
    rmail-spam-filter, rmail-update-summary, rmail-summary-goto-msg,
    rmail-summary-mark-undeleted, rmail-summary-mark-deleted,

and now a fresh emacs -q --no-site-file can M-x rmail without problems :-)

Thanks, that looks like the fix that's needed,
