Subject: getting procmail and mutt to work together
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I am not using a .muttrc file
When I initially ran mutt it successfully opened a folder with test
messages  in it.  After I made procmail deliver the mail to the folder I
wanted it to go into, mutt stopped working.

I was getting no error messages (and simply no mail listed), but now I'm
getting the message: "/var/spool/mail/Administrator is not a mailbox."

Hitting 'c' and choosing
"/cygdrive/c/Docume~1/jhouse/MyDocu~1/UnixHome/Mail/inbox' doesn't work
either.  Complains that it also is not a mailbox.



Any suggestions on how to fix this?  (Asside from putting my mail where
I don't want it to go?)
