The problem is that at build time, Mutt sometimes decides not to use dotlocking (mutt -v says -USE_DOTLOCK), though dotlocking may be necessary for some mailboxes. IMHO, Mutt should always be configured with dotlocking support and decide *at run time* if dotlocking is needed or not. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
