-your environment. Presently, XEmacs supports lockf, flock, and dot
-locking. Specify the locking method via the --mail-locking=METHOD
-option to configure. Valid values for METHOD are --mail-locking are
-`lockf', `flock', and `dot'.
+For most platforms, configure or the src/s file have the preferred
+method for locking mail spool files preconfigured. Otherwise you must
+find out for youself. Do not choose a locking protocol "on the
+objective merits." XEmacs must use the same method as other mail
+utilities on your system, or you will lose mail.
