Mutt strating up.



Hi.

I am working on strating up Mutt here. I got some setup from a friend of mine:
Mutt is started up like this:

mutt -F ~/.mutt/muttrc



ls -al /home/erikja/.mutt
total 136

When I start up I receive this:

q:Quit  d:Del  u:Undel  s:Save  m:Mail  r:Reply  G:Group  ?:Help
No mailbox is open.

If I made a mail, its sent, but I'm not sure to where.

Here is my mutt-path:
