OK, this befuddles me completely.  Is this proper behavior for the

$ echo $MAIL
/home/bringman/mbox
$ ls -al /home/bringman/mbox
ls: /home/bringman/mbox: No such file or directory
$ mail bringman

$ ls -al /home/bringman/mbox
-rw-------  1 bringman  users  429 Apr  1 09:23 /home/bringman/mbox
$ mail
Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001.  Type ? for help.
