Whoops! I see I sent the attached to a wrong address -- why would that be in the muttrc file that came with the distribution? -- David Benfell --- In your 30's, you discover that life is boring.

Hi, Silly me, I should have saved more of the mail regarding the latest version of mutt: 1) The configure and install seemingly went in painlessly. I did notice a bunch of complaints about missing characters which I presume to be because I didn't configure the kernel to support every character set on the planet. 2) I had just installed gnupg. This was my motivation for getting an international version of mutt. But when I started mutt up, it didn't recognize any of the gpg variables I had inserted in my muttrc. 3) And now, HELP!!! It says my mailbox is read-only. I specifically remember someone here saying it's a bad idea to make mutt run as root, so I'm not doing that (at least not yet.) But I look at the /var/spool/mail/benfell file and it looks to me like the permission is set to 640, which seems sensible to me: [benfell@phantom benfell]$ ls -al /var/spool/mail/ total 22 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 3 14:07 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1024 Aug 14 07:50 .. -rw-r----- 1 benfell mail 18640 Sep 3 14:07 benfell -rw-r--r-- 1 uucp mail 0 Aug 14 07:43 fax -rw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 12 16:01 root I used defaults in configuring mutt.
