Sorry for violating the kill command, I just want to clear up that what I had
in mind wasn't to maintain it like a setuid program, what I had in mind was to
add a few lines for memory locking, allow the user to set setuid root, but
make sure he understands that mutt won't be coded with setuid level security
in mind.
The reason for this is that with a few simple lines of code, you can turn the
choice over to the user. In a lot of situations you're the onlyone with access
to the box, and thus setuid apps are not a problem, while hd theft might be,
Anyways, once again I'm sorry to violate the kill, just wanted to clear up the
misunderstanding (IE, I'll shut up now).
