Hello! In a few cases I have a single mail file accessible under two different names, e.g.: -rw-r--r-- 2 24564 Jul 25 16:51 mail/burgheim -rw-r--r-- 2 24564 Jul 25 16:51 mail/Herbert When I visit one of these files with VM and update the file, then it disconnects the physical link between the two names. This happens eventhough I have both variables, backup-by-copying-when-linked and backup-by-copying-when-mismatch values set to t. Outside of VM, this causes physical links to be saved and a new backup copy is created in a ~ terminated name file. VM unconveniently unhooks the files in question. Please do not reply directly to me, but use the addresses below in my signature. This is to thwart those mean SPAMmers! Sincerely, --Ralph -- Dr. Ralph P.
