no, that's okay - the mutt-documentation recomends it and i did set in my
bash_profile _and_ in my muttrc but the system somehow ignores it ...
~/.bash_profile
# set user's TMPDIR
TMPDIR=/tmp
export TMPDIR
~/.mutt/muttrc
# temp-default is TMPDIR or /tmp
set tmpdir=/tmp
however, i did set it in the script, too, as mentioned in my last mail.

it starts with an empty mailbox - this has to do with the next problem ...

is it possible that this message-ID is missing in your script? or do i just
have
to write mutt-${HOSTNAME}-$-$ instead of mutt-${HOSTNAME}-$$ ??? (i'll try.)

so $$ is for the PID only? sorry for making that stupid questions. :-)
i also tried ${USER} - however, i realized that ${HOSTNAME} is correct.

hmm, seems i'm not concentrated enough. :-)
thanks for your help - and this last feature is fine. *g*
it would be great if more people could post their hacks and scripts here, so
that others don't have to reinvent the wheel. :-)
thank you for your help!!!
