I have a very strange error when trying to use evince to read PDF files. If (and only if) the PDF file is somewhere in my .mutt directory then evince fails with a "Permission Denied" screen. It's definitely something to do with the name ".mutt" as simply changing the same makes evince work.
So, I have moved my real .mutt directory out of the way and have just the following:- chris@t470$ ls -al .mitt total 2788 drwxrwxr-x 2 chris chris 4096 Oct 19 19:11 . drwxr-xr-x 63 chris chris 4096 Oct 19 19:11 .. -rw------- 1 chris chris 2845720 Oct 19 19:11 fred.pdf chris@t470$ ls -al .mutt total 2788 drwxrwxr-x 2 chris chris 4096 Oct 19 19:12 . drwxr-xr-x 63 chris chris 4096 Oct 19 19:11 .. -rw------- 1 chris chris 2845720 Oct 19 19:12 fred.pdf chris@t470$ Running 'evince ~/.mitt/fred.pdf' displays the PDF file successfully but running 'evince ~/.mutt/fred.pdf' produces a Permission Denied message in a pop-up window. All directory names I have tried other than .mutt allow the PDF file to be read. Has anyone else here seen anything like this? It would seem that it's an error in evince but of some relevance to mutt use. -- Chris Green
