Package: mutt
Version: 2.0.5-3
Severity: normal

Problem:

        Mutt opens mailboxes over sshfs readonly.

How to reproduce:

        I mount my homedir of a remote machine onto the filesystem of my pc.
        sshfs -o idmap=user remotehost: /mnt/bartm/remotehost
        Then I use mutt on my pc to access the mailboxes on the remote machine.

Expected behavior:

        Mutt should open mailboxes over sshfs readwrite. Just like vi opens
        them readwrite.

Workaround:

        Disabling mutt_dotlock by undefining USE_DOTLOCK makes the problem
        disappear. At first sight lstat seems confused on sshfs' different
        uids and guids on local and remote machines.
