Hello Russ, Just to be clear, the following.
What does ``mutt -v | grep DEBUG'' give? If the answer is +DEBUG, then ... >From man mutt: ``If mutt was complied with +DEBUG log debugging output to ~/.muttdebug0. Level can range from 1-5 and effects verbosity. A value of 2 is recommended.'' Did you look for a .muttdebug0 file? If the file is not present, than you probably do not have rights to write to a file in that directory. Check your rights by running ``touch .muttdebug0'' Did you create a .muttdebug0 file? Have a look into /var/log/messages or any availabe log file!
