The biggest user of the (u)nlink feature of Mutt.. is Mutt itself. Every mail that you send has some form of temporary attachment (even if it's just the main attachment), and this temporary file needs to be deleted. So Mutt marks any temp files it creates, with the "-" flag, so that it will be deleted after the compose is done. Even if you quit. You still want the temp files to be deleted. If you mark an attachment with the unlink flag, then you are telling Mutt that your file has the same disposition as any of its temp files. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.
