Comment (by muttrac):

 Some additional info on this report.

 If the mailbox file specified in the mutt command line is empty, mutt
 correctly reports "<mailbox file>: Permission denied (errno = 13)", but if
 the mailbox file is non-empty, mutt reports "<mailbox file> is not a
 mailbox.".  In both cases there is no read permission on <mailbox file>.

 See attached typescript.
