On the laptop the mailboxes called up with ? each has an * after the name, i.e. list-mutt-users*. The * doesn't appear on the list on the desktop box. I could be wrong but I don't recall seeing this before. Not a deal breaker but irritating. An explanation would be appreciated. The * is appended to the name of mailboxes that, for whatever reason, have the user executable bit set. The reason (I think) is that you probably never want your mailbox files to be executable, and it's an indication that your permission settings may not be what you think they are. To fix it, simply run `chmod u-x` on every mailbox file. ~Kyle - -- This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.
