-Description: Bypass root's mutt configuration file
-Subject:Bypass root's mutt configuration file.In case the root user has configured mutt, in their $HOME, for their own
- interactive use, we don't want these tweaks to impact the non-interactive use
- metche makes of mutt in any way.
- .
- In case the administrator wants to configure mutt for interactive *and*
- non-interactive use, they'd better edit its system-wide configuration file.
- .
- As mentioned by Andreas Beckmann, a mutt configuration file for the root user
- may trigger more occurrences of Debian bug #657071 than needed :)
