Help! I tried to send this last night with elm, and it never went
through. I don't know if that was a problem with elm, or if there are
more problems on this system.
I forgot to give very many other details, don't know if they will help
any or not-- this machine is a Sun, running SunOS 5.6 ... don't know
what other info you might need, let me know...
thanks,
rebecca

Help, oh wise mutt-users!
Yesterday mutt was working fine, today I can't get it to work. I try
to start it and it hangs while trying to open my mail folder.
All I get is:
Reading /usr/mail/rsutton...
The same thing happens if I try to start with other folders besides my
inbox.
I can't even ctrl-c (or anything else) out of it. --oh, and 'ps -ef'
reveals I have several defunct mutt processes running. I sent them
kill -KILL signals, but they're still hanging... Not sure how to get
rid of them...
I was running mutt 1.0.1, thought that might be a problem, so I just
compiled & installed mutt 1.2i (under my home directory-- this is a
sun, but not my box). Same problem.
--Other programs aren't having any problems reading my mail files;
from works, countmail works, I'm using elm right now-- which I used to
use before I found mutt, but now it is so painful to use in
comparison! Please pardon the Y2K incompliancy-- I've bugged the
system folk to upgrade elm, or better yet, install mutt, but they
still haven't done anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
