Mutt has various different file locking mechanisms, so to start you need to know what options you have compiled in. i don't much about file locking in mutt, but finding out which optiions you are using would be a start. You might want to take a look at the mutt users lists linked off of mutt.org. -- Jim Crumley | crumley at belka.space.umn.edu | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
