    Good afternoon, all.

    ... I thought I was through tiling my floor, then broke three tiles
    (42x42cm). Let me ask you something else, then..:

    ($!@^}# TILES!!)

    I appear to send mail alright with Mutt via Tor. The only constraint is currently that the Fcc Folder must be empty, otherwise mutt_dotlock
    cannot lock the corresponding file.

    This is less surprising, if you do not redirect STDERR upon startup,
    i.e. call the program with

    :~$ torify mutt

    instead of

    :~$ torify mutt 2>/dev/null

    The error
    “/usr/bin/mutt_dotlock: Operation not permitted” is displayed directly,
    in this case.

    How can I make the conflict, which must concern rights on the
    mutt_dotlock executable, more obvious and easier for me to understand?

    The file is currently

    :~% ll /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock
    - -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 141K Aug 12 23:00 /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock

    It is quite probable that the difficulty that I am facing here, does not concern so much mutt itself but user-rights in general. Maybe you can
    enlighten me anyway..?

    Needless to say, none of these phenomena is observed if I start mutt
    right away.

    TIA,

    Michael
