You runs mutt as root? That would give me the wilies! I assumed that no one would try that! I, of course, meant the instructions as a suggeation for the users .muttrc. If you run mutt as root I have no advice other then, don't. So what do you do about your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file? It has the same permissions as the your root .muttrc? Get hacked and it's just as bad. wt -- Southern DOS: Y'all reckon?
