Yes, I'm using unstable.

Hmm this directory did not exist, but I just made it.

Crash, yes.  Nice error messages?  Here is what I'm getting.  In case all the
characters don't show up correctly for you, the \xf0 is one of those Old
English or Old Norse characters that makes a th sound and looks like a d with
a cross through it, and \x89 is a dotted rectangle.  I wouldn't want you to
miss out on the full effect.  :)

Same as above.

Only slightly.  It does mention where to put the .wmmail file and the dir you
gave it on the list of acceptable locations.  I'll stick on my config and
maybe you can find some really obvious and glaring error that my eyes just
don't want me to see.

Thanks!
