I don't *think* so, and anyway why would it change on the change of
OS, the muttrc is the same file - still works on the old FreeBSD
system.

..... but, yes, you're right, I have :-

    set record=~/Mail/sentmail
    ...
    ...
    ...
    mailboxes ~/Mail/inbox `echo ~/Mail/lists/*` `echo ~/Mail/*` `echo 
~/Mail/spam/*`


... but why don't I see 'new mail' in ~/Mail/sentmail on the FreeBSD
system?

Anyway it's fairly easy to fix, I can just move my sentmail somewhere
else, or simpler remove the `echo ~/Mail/*` from mailboxes as there's
nothing else there which receives new mail now.

Thanks for the pointer.
