Yes, I thought the same. I was wondering why mutt couldn't figure out that the fcntl failed. My only guess (without looking at the locking code), was mutt asserted that a lock would work since NFS was mounted *without* the 'nolock' option I gave in my last email. Seems a little odd to assume that, though. :) /db
