I have installed mutt a couple of times on Linux systems, as a root, and had no problems whatever. Now I want to install it on a Sparcstation, where I am an ordinary user. The usual installation procedure does not succeed because of write permissions to various catalogs. Mutt's installation guide

set record and date update

I just noticed that the following line from my muttrc doesn't work as expected: send-hook . "set record=~/mail/sent-mail-date +%Y-%m" What's wrong is that it this morning it still saved in -99-09 for me. I got it to update to -99-10 by restarting mutt, but normally I don't exit mutt that often.

hi, I think all that is required is to run configure --prefix=/path/to/install/mutt and run 'make install'. If you still have problems like 'mail folder is read-only' comment out 'define USE_DOTLOCK 1' in config.h after running configure. Then run 'make install'. HTH, Raju On Mon, Oct 04, 1999

Hi, I'd like mutt (I use 0.95.7i) to automatically set the fcc for a newly composed mail to the mailbox from which I issued the mail command. I.e. when I'm in =my/box and compose a new message, it should have Fcc: =my/box. I tried fcc-hook ~A - since, according to the manual, - means the
