 Hmm, I don't really like the patch. If the problem is in hcache.c in 
 function mutt_hcache_fetch_raw(), why not ask here for why the 
 'filename++' line is in there? If a leading slash is a problem in some 
 cases, hcache.c should be fixed in the first place.
 
 If a leading / needs to be skipped, the patch maybe could be as simple 
 as:
 
    if (*filename=='/')
      filename++;
 
 instead of:
 
    filename++;
 
 and add a comment line on why the / needs to be skipped.
 
    bye, Rocco
