I've recently started using mutt remotely when I'm on campus to check 
for email that Mozilla is automatically downloading to my Debian box at 
home (I log in to my Debian box via ssh from Tera Term Pro on the 
Windows machines on campus). The 'problem' is that when mutt launches it 
automatically uses the mbox file at /var/mail/username. There is such a 
file on my system but little email ever comes its way, hence I have no 
interest in checking it. What I would like is to have Mutt default to 
opening up Mozilla's mbox at 
~/.mozilla/default/********.slt/Mail/pop.my.isp/Inbox . I can force mutt 
to open it by using the -f (and, for safety's sake, -R) parameter with 
that long filename, but I would prefer a quicker and more permanent 
solution. I've also noticed that there is no .mutt or the like file or 
directory in my home directory, which is somewhat perplexing.
