Description calimeroteknik 2017-10-31 15:47:53 UTC

I get a warning when running mail. Example:

~ $ mail root@localhost
mail: legacy configuration file /etc/mailutils.rc ignored
Cc:

This page in the docs explains that this file should be renamed:
https://mailutils.org/manual/html_node/configuration.html

So months ago, I renamed /etc/mailutils.rc to /etc/mailutils.conf as explained, but gentoo package updates keep bringing /etc/mailutils.rc back in the form of /etc/._cfg0000_mailutils.rc.
