*** NOT CURRENTLY SUBSCRIBED -- PLEASE INCLUDE MY DIRECT E-MAIL IN REPLIES *** I have just switched to FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE (Yeah -- I know -- but I've been putzing on it since August) and I am having a problem with mutt "out of the box" from packages. While I can modify my mailbox using "mail", "mutt" insists that it is read-only. If I copy it somewhere else with the same permissions, it can modify it just fine, so I assume it has something to do with the directory permissions, but they look just the same as on my old FreeBSD 2.1 system, on which the old mutt worked just fine. Here are the respective permissions. drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 2048 Feb 2 08:47 /var/mail -rw------- 1 john lind 5097178 Feb 2 08:47 /var/mail/john Any CLUES would be appreciated, since I don't currently seem to own one!
