Reliable/safe way of removing empty maildirs?

2007-12-06 Thread Chris G
What's a reliable way of removing empty maildirs? Presumably it's possible but you'd have to follow some protocol that wouldn't interfere with the proper writing of messages to the maildir. Or is it simply not possible, in which case the wonderful concept of maildir not needing file locking is ra

Really strange 'new messages' problem

I have just had the shell account where I read my mail moved from a FreeBSD system to a Linux one. I was using mutt 1.5.16 on the FreeBSD system, I'm using 1.5.17 on the Linux system. I have the same home directory on both systems so my muttrc file is unchanged (except for removing sentmail from

If you look in the header of this message I *fear* you will see that the charset is set to iso-8859-1. It's not my muttrc that's doing that, so what is setting it to that, incorrectly! I suspect that it's probably this that is the fundamental problem (apart from getting my editor to enter the cor
