To prevent Rmail from handling MIME decoded messages, change the
variable @code{rmail-enable-mime} to @code{nil}. When this is the
case, the @kbd{v} (@code{rmail-mime}) command instead creates a
your Rmail file (@pxref{Rmail Inbox}). When loaded for the first time,
Rmail attempts to locate the @code{movemail} program and determine its
version. There are two versions of the @code{movemail} program: the
-native one, shipped with GNU Emacs (the ``emacs version'') and the one
-included in GNU mailutils (the ``mailutils version'',

command line syntax and the same basic subset of options. However, the
Mailutils version offers additional features.
@cindex POP mailboxes
No matter which flavor of @code{movemail} you use, you can specify
a POP inbox by using a POP @dfn{URL} (@pxref{Movemail}). A POP
