Something I've been noticing is that if my MDA (qmail-local from qmail 1.03) writes a new message to a mailbox while Mutt (1.2.5i) is in the process of opening that mailbox, I will end up with two exact copies of that message in the mailbox. OS is Debian 2.2 with a 2.4.3 Linux kernel. Any ideas on where to look for the problem? Is this perhaps the MDA ignoring a lock that Mutt places on the file, or has Mutt not yet locked it? Gracias.
