Re: Mail box format?
OK. I removed the old file. Works fine. Maybe the file was corrupted, or something. Sorry for the bug alerts all!

Mail box format?
Can mutt read both mbox and maildir, without user intervention? Meaning, I can open up a mbox file with mutt, and then jump to another box that is maildir, and use mutt. I never leave the program and do nothing except change directory. -- /Jason G Helfman "At any given moment, you may find the ticket to the circus that has always been in your possession."
