This is probably off-topic, but as the man said in the movie, "I gots to know..." Does mutt do file locking in /var/mail? If so, does it employ the user's privileges to do so? If not, how does it guard against file corruption? Those of you familiar with Pine will recognize this as the "1777 permissions" FAQ. I'm currently "experimenting" with mutt after years of Pine usage, and am definitely _not_ trolling; I am simply curious. Thanks, Jay
