Does anyone know if the elm folks have fixed the problem with elm not
locking folders other than $MAIL/$LOGNAME-like, for example, folders
made by procmail?


It's not really a "problem", it's just that elm only locks spool files.

Anyway, you'll be able to tell elm 2.5 to lock whatever file you want.  If
you've really got to have it now, I've got a patch that will implement
bascailly the same feature for 2.4.  It's at
tigger.itc.virginia.edu:/pub/src/elm.pl24.diffs.gz (even though the diffs
are for PL 24, they should still work with PL 25).
