Recently, Alex Miller had the following to say about RE: Pine, Mutt, and Maildir:

Here's what I use in my .muttrc file to use Maildirs:
set mbox_type="Maildir"
set mbox="$HOME/Maildir/"
set spoolfile="$HOME/Maildir/"
This does the trick for me. This .muttrc file is in my $HOME
directory. To make it system wide, you'd need to put it in your Muttrc file,
the system-wide mutt configuration file which, on my system, is located in
my /etc directory. However, I have never done this system-wide. I have only
done it for myself as almost all my shell users use Pine, not Mutt.
Hope that helps,
Fred

Wasn't there something about a PASCAL programmer knowing the value of
everything and the Wirth of nothing?
