I did not see anything in Mutt manual(.txt), something like Vim's
"verbose" variable, that can be set to see what mutt is doing.
(Correct me if i am wrong.)
Other way(s) would be to use some tracing programs...
- strace: trace system calls
- truss(1): trace system calls (at least on FreeBSD),
- ktrace(1) & kdump(1): kernel process tracing & parsing (at least
on FreeBSD)
...to see which files & system calls are being accessed & read, and
called complete w/ error messages that just flash by in mutt if not
paying attention. See respective man pages for usage.
- Parv
