Hi Chris,
I have not got an answer about my last remark about 'mail -u'.

If you did not recieved my letter I repeat:
The environment variable MAIL affects behaviour of -u option of mail
command - mail alvays open file specified in MAIL variables regardless value
of -u option.

So, IMHO, this bug report is closed too early.

Dmitry
