You must admit the mutt(1) man page makes one think that if there exists
{{{
$ find /tmp/aa/bb/
/tmp/aa/bb/
/tmp/aa/bb/cur
/tmp/aa/bb/tmp
/tmp/aa/bb/new
/tmp/aa/bb/new/1234904125.7675_0.hoffa
/tmp/aa/bb/new/1234909876.11182_0.hoffa
/tmp/aa/bb/new/1234909519.11660_0.hoffa
}}}
one merely needs to do
{{{
$ MAILDIR=/tmp/aa/bb mutt
}}}
or at the most
{{{
$ MAILDIR=/tmp/aa/bb mutt -f /tmp/aa/bb/
}}}
to read it.
However one ends up
needing
{{{
$ MAILDIR=/tmp/aa/bb mutt -m Maildir -f /tmp/aa/bb/
}}}
to read it.
Conclusions: MAILDIR is ignored or the man page doesn't spell out what is
needed to read an arbitrary maildir enough.
