Hi All, Can anyone explain how mutt_dotlock works and where its settings are kept. Mutt tries to write to my outbox and tries to dotlock a file named "outbox." in the same directory. It cant (for some reason I cant quite see). But can I change the place it tries to write the lock file to instead? /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock is uid:root and gid:mail So it should be able to write to my home directory, but who knows sometimes (nfs, nis setups)! Thanks for any help, -- Murray Maxwell Dancey, [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq. 106790920
