Re: [Nmh-workers] Questionable code in m_chkids() in sbr/context_save.c

I perhaps overstated things.  Better would be that, with only one
exception, I cannot think of a reason to run the mh commands setuid.

I seem to recall that in some setups "inc" was setgid, so it could
create lock files in the mail spool directory.  Not the same as setuid,
of course, but maybe inc was setuid in some setups?

(AFAIK sendmail and friends always run stuff under the user's real and
effective uid, so I don't think slocal should ever be setuid).
