This example of /usr/bin/mail's behaviour in 3.0-current bugs me.
Its not like this on 2.1.5R, or any other system with the BSD Mail.
If I wanted it to "dt" I'd have typed "dt" and not "d 2". What is
causing this? Went so far as to lift the binary of mail from 2.1.5R
and libc.so.2.2 and place it on the new machine and *still* got the
same results. The terminal used doesn't matter. Now I beg for help...
