Maybe I was not clear. I don't want my sent messages to be saved. I want a cron job to be able to send email with attachments, which mutt does nicely.

I don't understand what this says. Is there a command line switch or a muttrc setting that lets me "use maildir" and not "use sent folder"? I thought I'd dredged through the man page pretty thoroughly, could not find stuff about using or not using sent folder. Anyhow, I've been using mutt in this context for a long time, still use it sucessfully with previous versions of fedora. Is the idea of locking the ~/sent folder something that has recently been added to mutt, or something that recently became the default behavior, or should I be speaking to the fedora guys to see what they tweaked in the fedora default config? Thanks, Dave
