That's system- and mailer-dependent behavior. It's not relevant to the thread any longer, but there are two common schemes for this. One is for the spool directory to have permissions 1777, and let everyone write there. The other is to make the MDA SGID and make use of group permissions to write there.

Mac Command Line and mutt
Not so much a mutt question as a request for a reference. FYI: I have used mutt for years on linux. I am considering getting a mac mini. Some time ago, I queried this list about using mutt on a mac and from the responses, it appears that some of you do just that. What I am most interested in at this time is whether there are any MLs or forums that are designed around using the mac terminal. I just found http://www.mac-forums.com, looks like there is a forum for mac terminal. Any other recommendations?

Any other recommendations? I'm not sure what you're looking for. Terminal.app and iTerm.app are just a means for running your preferred shell that you would otherwise use to launch Mutt. If you're familiar with bash, tcsh, etc then it should be a lateral move. -r

I would be looking for (initially) something that I could peruse to see if there were any issues that would differ with linux and if there were any features that might be attractive. > If you're familiar with bash, tcsh, etc then it should be a > lateral move.

I think Ravi is right. I have used Mutt on Mac OS for a few years, as well as using it on Linux, FreeBSD and BSDi before that. In my experience it works the same on whichever OS you choose as long as you build in all the bits and pieces you need. For the latter issue, you might want to look at the different package management systems available for Mac OS, including Fink and MacPorts, to find out which versions they have available. I believe there is another package system called Homebrew but I don't know anything about it. HTH, Leo
