If the user didn't have access to that directory, then the shell would give an error on the redirect, and mutt would never even run.

Are there any flags to mutt to have it give you more info beyond "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that"?  Perhaps an error log file with details?

Ken,

I made the command even simpler and still no good.

63  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       . If:
       Then: system "mutt -s Test henry at vegena.net < /dev/null"

I get a blank email when ran on the command line with subject test, but run from filepro all I get is:

                          ┌─────────────────────────┐
                          │ Email Shipment Packslip │
                          └─────────────────────────┘







                          Records Selected:         1

                         Generating Output:         1







────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

                                        H
Could not send the message.




I checked Mutt's Man page but I don't see any logs at all. I even checked the system's mail log file but it's not showing any entry at the time of running the process.

Please consider the environment before printing
