debs,
firstly, thanks to all that replied.
i got good info. ("world writeable,
vi.recover"..."glad to meet-'cha'.")
secondly, i still don't know how i
screwed up the perms.
and thirdly, during my morning 75-mile
commute to denver, the thought popped
into my head that i could remove the
~/vi.recover files, try to move the
contents of .muttrc to a new filename,
delete .muttrc, and then copy the con-
tents of that new file back into a
_new_ .muttrc.
in other words:
1) rm /var/tmp/vi.recover/*
2) cat .muttrc > new_muttrc_for_testing_1a
3) rm .muttrc
4) cat new_muttrc_for_testing_1a > .muttrc
(5)) (report back to list.)
oh, yeah....
kthxbye.
b.
