[arch-general] Strange file in home directory

[Sławek Kapłoński]

Hello,

I found recently strange (for me) file in my home directory. Name of
this file is "on":

[13:45:14] ***@dell:~$ file on
on: GNU dbm 1.x or ndbm database, little endian, 64-bit

I think that it is created by Mutt because when I removed it and started
Mutt then it was created again.

Do You know what is this file for, what creates it (is it really Mutt)
and maybe how can I disable creation of this file?

Given the name of that file, I'd suspect a misconfiguration of mutt.
Re-check your config.

Hi,

Thx for the tip. I checked it and in fact You were right :) Issue was
because of wrong config of header_cache option in mutt. I had:

set header_cache = on

in my muttrc file. So my problem is solved now. Thx a lot.
