i think he meant that mutt itself is mounted on the NFS share. i wouldn't do this unless i had to, and i can imagine it might cause some problems, but shouldn't be a big deal.... if you don't have root access on the machine, maybe the admin could make you a directory on a local disc you could install mutt into? is the filer something fairly robust like a netapp? in that case i'd feel a bit less weird about it... we have customers who compile and run stuff with few problems on our netapp (from linux client machines)... w
