Uhm. Let's imagine your mailbox is MAILBOX=/path/to/mailbox. What's
the output of:
% ls -ld `dirname $MAILBOX`
% touch `dirname $MAILBOX`/foo
% /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock -p $MAILBOX || echo failure
% ls -l ${MAILBOX}.lock
I find it very surprising that mutt_dotlock from the command line
works, and it does not from within mutt.
