Hi again,
The filesystems involved are mounted with defaults, so atime should be
in use, and since mutt occasionally has sniffed the mboxes correctly,
I suspect it's not an atime problem.
However, I found something else that I had clobbered when transferring
the files: silly me had copied the crucial files on an USB stick!
Which means, d'oh -obviously, that file attributes go all boink, which
in its turn may have had $DEITY knows what effects on programs. I
fixed the rights and see what happens. And try to remember to tar
everything into a nice ball before transferring files on VFAT
filesystems.
