Nah. Real men are probably busy doing some kernel debugging, so they've booted
off a floppy to read their mail. Since they left 'cat' off to save space, they
do 'mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 /mnt; sh </mnt/mail/root' and interpret the error
messages. (Real men always run in single use mode and kick off uucp jobs by
hand... crontab is for people with lousy memories and file protection is for
undisciplined wimps)
