Netscape Mail & /var/spool/mail permissions



Hi,

I am wondering how I should set the permissions for /var/spool/mail
if I want to use Netscape Mail. The debian base system has it set to
drwxrwsr-t (user=root group=mail). However, this does not work with
Netscape Mail. Netscape suggests setting it to mode 01777 ie drwxrwxrwt. 

What is the suitable arrangement which satisfies debian concerns of
security?
