Hi,

I've the following permissions ($USER == joze)

-rw--w----   1 y1zln    mail          508 Feb  7 09:10 /var/mail/joze
drwxrwxr-x   3 root     mail         8192 Feb  7 09:09 /var/mail

I can't change anything at /var/mail as I've no root priviledges.
I found out, that the lock file can't be created in /var/mail and
therefore my mailbox is opened read-only. I've also found a hack

set dotlock_program="true"

as mutt checks the return status of the dotlock_program.

My question: is there a 'clean' way, that is for example creating a
lock file in a $USER readable directory ?
