With attachments, I have screwed a little bit up: - when a message is shown (before pressing 'v'), the red markers like "[-- Attachment #1 --]" are also missing. - when pressing 'v', the attachments are shown and can even be saved. Sorry for the confusion! More info: Last time, as mutt was working, memory looked like this: raven:/ # ps axl|grep -v grep |egrep ' (mutt|COMMAND)' F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 0 1000 1135 19716 20 0 97188 21104 SyS_po S+ pts/3 0:00 mutt 0 1000 15559 6391 20 0 97260 21124 - S pts/2 0:00 mutt raven:/ # ps axl|grep -v grep |egrep ' (mutt|COMMAND)' F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 0 1000 1135 19716 20 0 97488 21388 SyS_po S+ pts/3 0:00 mutt 0 1000 15559 6391 20 0 97352 21232 SyS_po S+ pts/2 0:01 mutt So size has increased a little bit, but not very much Here are the open descriptors. The deleted file is the one which is currently shown in mutt: raven:/ # ls -l /proc/15559/fd total 0 lrwx------ 1 jw jw 64 Dec 20 19:50 0 -> /dev/pts/2 lrwx------ 1 jw jw 64 Dec 20 19:50 1 -> /dev/pts/2 lrwx------ 1 jw jw 64 Dec 20 19:50 2 -> /dev/pts/2 lr-x------ 1 jw jw 64 Dec 20 19:50 3 -> /tmp/mutt-raven-1000-15559-7436415611661510353 (deleted) This deleted file is also missing the mail body: raven:/ # cat /proc/15559/fd/3 Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2020 10:18:22 -0800 From: "Kevin J.
