How do I tell emacs that it please should refrain > from automagicly executing code on behalf of email messages!!! Emacs doesn't have such a "feature". Does this happen in "emacs -Q"? If not, look in your ~/.emacs for something that causes this. If this does happen in "emacs -Q", please submit a bug report with a minimal mbox file (that's the file that movemail fetches from /var/spool/mail/visaris) that can be used to reproduce the problem.
