Hi, In the Mutt manual, one has:
1. Location of Initialization Files While the default configuration (or "preferences") make Mutt usable right out of the box, it is often desirable to tailor Mutt to suit your own tastes. When Mutt is first invoked, it will attempt to read the "system" configuration file (defaults set by your local system administrator), unless the "-n" [857]command line option is specified. This file is typically /usr/local/share/mutt/Muttrc or /etc/Muttrc. [...] Example 3.7. Configuring external alias files source /usr/local/share/Mutt.aliases [...] When you add an attachment to your mail message, Mutt searches your personal mime.types file at $HOME/.mime.types, and then the system mime.types file at /usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types or /etc/mime.types [...] To enable "classic mode", ensure GPGME is disabled and use the gpg.rc or smime.rc files that come with mutt. These are typically installed under /usr/share/doc/mutt/samples/. Source them, either directly or by copying them to your .mutt directory and sourcing them. Sourcing them directly from /usr/share/doc/mutt/samples/ has the benefit of automatically using fixes and security improvements to the command invocations, and is recommended. unset crypt_use_gpgme source /usr/share/doc/mutt/samples/gpg.rc source /usr/share/doc/mutt/samples/smime.rc [...] /usr/local/share is used in the first 3 parts, but just /usr/share in the 4th one. Also, I don't understand why /usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types is hardcoded (if still valid). Moreover, it seems that Mutt installs Muttrc and mime.types in $prefix/etc, and the manual is inconsistent with that. IMHO, all these should be relative to the install directory ($prefix). There should be a Mutt variable, e.g. $installdir, to express this. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
