You can find info like this in /var/lib/dpkg/info. It contains a wealth
of info (fun grepping:-) on everything that's installed in your system.
From the netscape.postinst file in that subdir:
Netscape will not be able to read user mail spool files unless you set
the \"external movemail program\" to \"/usr/lib/netscape/movemail\".
Changing the permissions of /var/spool/mail to 1777 (as suggested by
Netscape) will introduce a small security hole which, under some
circumstances, could allow someone else to get access to another's mail.
