Hello Eli,
Yes, movemail is in PATH. I think the problem is explained in Robert's
first post of bug 31737 that Paul linked to. That is, movemail is first
searched for in `mail-source-movemail-program', which is nil by default,
then under `exec-directory', where movemail is no longer installed.
Joseph
