I was simplifying, I had noticed it was a symlink and the place it
points at has the same permissions.

Are you sure? This is a symlink, look at the l at the beginning of your 
line.

Where does it point to?

Shade and sweet water!

Re: Viewing attachments with detached process while remianing in attachments menu

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello Eric,

Why not use "metamail" in a macro and pipe the whole message to
it by detaching the whole process?

If I open a pdf attachment, my viewer "xpdf" is always detached
and i can continue reading my messages while "xpdf" stay open.

Directories not more recognized

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

I have a strange error in the System and do not find the solution for it.

I am fetching E-Mails for all Intranet Users with "fetchmail" and filter
with "procmail" to ~/Maildir/INBOX... which works fine.  Even new folders
are created correctly with procmail.

Now, in mutt we configure "mailboxes" and there is a problem with:

mailboxes =INBOX \
=INBOX.Business.Société_Générale_Marocaine \
=INBOX.Business.GründerLinX

I do not know, whether Courier or Mutt (over IMAP) does not more recognize
the second and third mailfolder...

Accessing the Maildir directly over NFS is working perfectly.

Please do not suggest to use NO accents or for umlaut AE for Ä or
something like this.  It is definitivly not more possible to educate
over 17.000 Mail/IMAP Users where you use over 50 languages in the
organization.

Any suggestions?

Is it possible to use UTF-8 names for Mailfolder created by procmail and
use it from courier?

IF YES, how can I force procmail and courier to do so? 

Thanks, greetings and nice evening

Brilliant!  That's the problem, /var/mail is:-

lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   10 Oct 16  1999 /var/mail

the group should be mail.  I guess the sysadmin didn't check when he
moved the mail spool.

It's on a shell login account on a web hosting provider, it's not my
personal system.  A 'uname -a' reports:-

Linux shell 2.4.23-grsec #1 Tue Dec 2 19:44:13 GMT 2003 i586 unknown

I think it's Debian.  The mutt is mine though.  It's not a system I
use much for mail (or I'd be a bit more worried).  It used to work
fine but the mail spool moved a while ago and I only just noticed,
when I changed my muttrc to match I started getting this error.

Are you using Debian or Ubuntu? It seems there has been an error with a
stable package, IIRC.

You have mail in /var/mail/cgreen

mutt_dotlock -p /var/mail/cgreen; echo $?
1

So it's an "unspecified  error".  Maybe the full file system is
causing the problem, as I said I'll wait until that's cleared up
before trying any harder.

See the mutt_dotlock man page DIAGNOSTICS section.

1 - DL_EX_ERROR
  An  unspecified  error such as bad command line
  parameters, lack of system memory and the like has occured.


mutt_dotlock -t -p /var/mail/cgreen; echo $?
