Agreed. % % Also note that removing mutt_dotlock isn't sufficient as Mutt uses % an absolute path to mutt_dotlock. After removing mutt_dotlock from % the install bin directory, I need to replace it by a new one (in my % case, a symlink to the one in /usr/bin is sufficient). Now *that* one is a new one on me. I don't recall having run across that before. Very interesting, and certainly a compelling reason to not build mutt_dotlock. Why didn't you say so in the first place? ;-) % % -- % Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% % validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International % des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. % Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
