The readme files that were included with the package made me think that
the author mostly uses the POP features to write to his own local mail
file, but I could be wrong.  thats why I suggested that the recently
released 1.4 may not have tested the combo I was using.  I could of
course be wrong.

I haven't been able to detect any stray .lock files laying around, and
it happens everytime I try to write to my spool file.  Once on opening,
and once on syncing, when it tries to write.

I hadn't tried building mutt 1.4 plain for a while, and after reading
gary's readme files, and his mentioning of some security fixes and a
bunch of bug fixes, I was hesitant to build from the pure source.  His
release notes suggests applying his patches to the original sources.  

If thats not needed, I could always build from scratch too, but I would
at least like to see what gary did to the code to confirm if I need to
worry about getting his code roled in to the original source I build
from.

Thanks for the information.  Its appreciated.

Guy
