Hey there,

I think I've stumbled across an interesting bug in mutt for Solaris.
I could be wrong, but that's why I'm posting to this list first... :)

Last night, I sent an email to my work email address, and with it,
I attached my /var/mail/$USER file.  This morning, upon coming into
work, I found that the mail I sent had been stripped of it's attachment,
and that the contents had been added to my existing /var/mail/$USER
file....  is this a feature, because as far as I'm concerned, it's
a bug that could potentially cause some damage.

Here is some info on the mutt client I'm using at work;
