This should work automagically. I just tried to postpone a message
and it worked like a charm. If you are using ntsec, check the permissions.

Thanks! I re-installed my "minimal" cygwin environment as well as Mutt,
and most problems dissapeared. ;)

If anybody is interested in setting up Mutt on a standalone, win9x box
with dial-up Internet access only, email me.

Hi....
New to list!
I want to run Mutt with a minimal Cygwin install -- can it be done? I have
all the Cygwin DLLs, bash, ncurses, mutt, terminfo.
I have it kind of half-ass working, except for Mutt choking when it wants
to write to a file (e.g., postponed, or sent, etc) -- something about
being unable to lock or unlock the file in question. I noticed that in the
cygwin directory tree, there's a mutt_dotlock (or something) executable. I
suspect that I need to use this, but can't figure out how.
Anyway -- help, advise, comments -- let me have them, please! and BTW,
this is all happening on a win95 box. You cygwin/mutt hackers -- throw in
any "gotchas" that I might need to know about before they bite me. Tia...
