I'm curious as to why having a mail program remove an
empty mail file is "desirable" behavior. Unless you have
large numbers of users cleaning out their boxes every day,
and Greenpeace is after you for inode wastage 8^).

I always set my .mailrc to leave the file there, anyway.

but noe I have elm, which does it "right" 8^)
