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

$ echo $MAIL
/home/bringman/mbox
$ ls -al /home/bringman/mbox
ls: /home/bringman/mbox: No such file or directory
$ mail bringman
Subject: testing
alsjkdf
.
EOT
$ ls -al /home/bringman/mbox
-rw------- 1 bringman users 429 Apr 1 09:23 /home/bringman/mbox
