mailbox perms or muttrc problem?

When I run the port of mutt that you folks have put together (thanks, btw), it always opens my /var/mail/vraptor file as read-only. The perms are set to 600, the group is set to 'mail' (and fetchmail is able to write to the spool).

I tried 760 as well, but that didn't help.

Am I missing something obvious I need to set in the system-wide Muttrc (the second account I set up for another mailbox has the same problem).

This is my first use of mutt--I've used pine, but have heard from a lot of sources that mutt is better, so I thought I would try it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
