dired-do-rename in
/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 78791 2002-11-14 21:15 dired-aux.el
fails to keep the owner intact.
I am root. If I do
# mv /var/spool/exim4/input/some_files ~
the group and owner, Debian-exim, is preserved, but not if I use
dired-do-rename.
Therefore I cannot temporarily park messages elsewhere without making
them unpresentable to exim when I move them back. Never mind, I will
try exim's freezing/thawing instead.
P.S., there is no error shown to the user when he executes
# emacs -nw -u /var/spool/exim4/input/ ~
(He meant
# emacs -nw -q /var/spool/exim4/input/ ~)
