Dago,
Typically we run zones on systems as, you stated, an isolation
mechanism. Webservers, DNS server, etc.
Typically we don't have a lot of users on these zones, there are
more for services.
A single mutt config file would work just fine for us, the few
users that log-into those zones, and the subset of those that
use mutt from there is small and there is no need for us to
differentiate the system-wide Muttrc files.

If I can ask a question in return ?
I've installed mutt 1.5.20 on a Solaris 10/x86 and I can't
open the imap server. When invoking mutt, even prior to entering
the username I get the following error.
Bad IDN "imaps.wadsworth.org".
This was not an issue in the earlier SFW mutt I was running.
No changes to my private .muttrc file. I am able to run the new
version against my mutt.outbox in my directory.
If you have any suggestions... that will allow me to move from
Solaris on Sparc to x86.
thank you,
Brian
