This message indicates that the time-stamp on the file has been changed since Mutt last saw you write to the file. That is, when Mutt launches your editor, and your editor finishes writing, the timestamp is set to a certain time, and Mutt makes note of it. Then, when you press "y" to send, Mutt looks at the timestamp again, and notices that it has changed. Mutt thinks that you did something behind his back, and so it asks you what's going on, should it check the file again to see if it should change the encoding (us-ascii, iso-8859-1, etc). So, the mystery here is, why does Mutt think that you're changing the file behind his back? Does your editor run in parallel with Mutt, like does it launch a separate X-window for you to edit in, while in the xterm where you ran Mutt, it thinks you are finished editing? That's the only thing I can think of. -- 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.
