I have noticed something which surprises me...

I have sevaral mail files in one of my directories.  When data is added to
those files, the mod dates (as reported by "ls -l"), which is good.

However, when I read mail in one of those files with "mutt -f
<dirname>/<filename>", delete some messages, and exit, the size of the file
will change, but the mod time does not.

I always thought that it *should* update the mod time when a file is changed
in anyway.

RHL 7.2
kernel 2.4.9-31

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
