As a normal user, you shouldn't be able to remove a privileged
mutt_dotlock, since it will be owned by root; the only way for that
to happen is if it was world-writable anyway.  If you can remove it,
it was useless anyway, while if it's not useless, you shouldn't be able
to remove it and get yourself into any trouble.
