Re: Alias now can't find my Muttrc?
Hi Rocco, The path before the error message IS: ~/Desktop/mutt-1.5.19/etc/Muttrc which IS where my Muttrc file is located. I DID install to ~/Desktop/mutt-1.5.19. (I've been weighing the pros cna cons of changing the location of the .muttrc, but so far everything has worked. Like i said, this HAS worked in the past.

Unless you have a user named Desktop on your system, and write access to his home directory, I don't think that's what you want. I think you mean alias_file=~/Desktop/mutt-1.5.19/etc/Muttrc.
