No argument there at all.

No contents are required. It happens every time I type 'mail' by itself
to start the interface, whether there is mail waiting or not. It
*doesn't* happen when I use 'mail to-someone@an.address' however, so I
think mike is right inre it's probably related to opening the mail file.
I'll be happy to continue working on this if we're interested in finding
the real problem. I'm just happy to not have those error messages any
more. :)
