A second problem..
I installed slang, compiled mutt and installed it underneath my home directory. the dotlock program, mutt and the Muttrc are in place with prefix=/usr/home/hypnotik .. earth% ls -l /var/mail/hypnotik -rw--- 1 hypnotik user 654 Feb 4 15:35 /var/mail/hypnotik earth% export MAIL=/var/mail/hypnotik earth% mutt earth% ~/bin/mutt -f /var/mail/hypnotik earth% - end -- output of mutt -v: Mutt 0.95.1us (1999-01-04) Copyright (C) 1996-8 Michael R.
