I've been given a clue from the Sysadmin:
I've installed Python in the wrong directory. The mail program doesn't have
permission to access my $HOME directory, and I've installed Python2.0 in a
subdirectory of HOME. So, I need to uninstall it, and then reinstall it into a
directory that the mail program has access to.
What is the recommended uninstall procedure? I'm tempted to simply delete the
entire Python-2.0 folder, but don't want to get myself in trouble...
