The first time I configured mutt 1.2, it said that /var/mail wasn't
world-writable. I had to configure it a second time (after cleaning)!
This problem has already happened with mutt 1.1.x.
$ uname -a
SunOS vin 5.7 Generic_106541-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
and I'm under NFS.
BTW, this problem may lead to corrupted mailboxes! IMHO, Mutt shouldn't
be compiled or installed if no locking mechanism can't be used.
And I still don't see why Mutt looks at /var/mail since in general,
I don't use it (all my mail is stored to my $HOME directory).
