>Description:
	MAILTO can be used in crontab(5) files to redirect the default cron job mail behavior.  It works fine for all users except for root, where it has no effect at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Add a MAILTO=someotheraddress line to /etc/crontab to modify root's crontab.  Note that cron job mail is still sent to the same address as without the MAILTO line.
>Fix:

	No known work around.
