Re: Alias now can't find my Muttrc?
Hi Rocco,
The path before the error message IS:
~/Desktop/mutt-1.5.19/etc/Muttrc
which IS where my Muttrc file is located.
I DID install to ~/Desktop/mutt-1.5.19. (I've been weighing the pros cna
cons of changing the location of the .muttrc, but so far everything has
worked.
Like i said, this HAS worked in the past.
