Get the docs, there is an -install switch that generates an initial setup. If that fails already then you may have a compilation problem. If it works then add every feature step by step to find the problem.

Yes. That is one of the best features of golded. That is the work in progress file for new messages. Once i wrote a long mail with references and source research when my computer crashed. I couldn't save the mail and i was upset that my long work was lost. After restarting the machine and golded a never seen before message popped up "unfinished message found" and everything was there. That really made my day.

Even now this mail is in that file:

$ head golded.msg
