Re: newbie : lot of problems with mutt

[Thomas Roessler]

Note that it's generally a good idea _not_ to use as complex
software as mutt when working as root.  

Instead, create a system alias which redirects any system mail to a
"real" user, and read it as this real user.

Also note that the permissions of the spool file are not of any
importance to dotlocking.  Instead, the spool _directory's_
permissions must match:

% ls -ld /var/spool/mail
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     mail         1024 Aug 23 20:37 /var/spool/mail
