Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.9-2
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
I use the cfs Cryptographic Filesystem to store files holding confidential
information in. Some of these files contain mail, and mutt should be able to
read and modify these files. Mutt has no problem reading those files, but it
is not possible to add new messages to these mail files. When I try to do so
mutt replies with a message like
Couldn't lock <path to the mail file>
I explitly configured mutt_dotlock in my .muttrc configuration file:
set dotlock_program="/usr/bin/mutt_dotlock"
and when I run mutt_dotlock from the command line to lock the file its
return values are 0, both for locking and unlocking. So, I get the impression
that locking is possible, but that mutt somhow is unable to lock. The mail
file has user rw permissions, and the directory in which the mail file is
located there are no special files (e.g., dot-files).
