I've found that sending mail as root saves a copy in /root/mail/Sent/,
whereas sending as my user doesn't seem to keep a record at all.
The only difference between root and user is that root is using mbox
and user is maildir.
Is there some way around this?
There is a setting for sent mail, it is called "set record". You probably
have it set for root in root's .muttrc, but not your own, or you have it
incorrectly set. I believe maildir needs a trailing "/", ie:
~/mail/outbox/
whereas mdir does not, ie:
~/mail/outbox
Nope, I have record set in both. In fact they are almost identical
except that root's is mbox.
