I have little acknowledge on it, so I can't give you the sure answer, sorry :(
I'm on FreeBSD 7, ~/.mutt is on the /user filesystem, it's mounted by:
> /dev/ad2s2e /usr ufs rw 2 2
in the /etc/fstab. I don't know if atime is enabled by default or not.
About the patch you advise, I'm really not familiar with programming relative
stuff and
got a little busy these days, so I'm afraid I can't have a try, sorry!
