This can be controlled through mount points by setting them as binary but using this to solve portability problems is discouraged.

No one can assume that users are going to set their mount points as binary (or any other global work-around for that matter). >Find out who created /bin/mutt and ask them, or maybe there's a web >page somewhere with build instructions or diffs ... > >Edmund Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 118 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
