We seem to be having a problem with our /usr/ucb/Mail.  It appears that
sometimes at the end of a long session, too many files are held in the
spool file rather than being deleted.  The scenario goes something like
this:

	read mail
	save some mail
	do some headers
	send a little mail
	save some more mail
	delete some mail
	...etc...
	q

And all seems to work ok. (except that by then you have no idea how many
files it SHOULD have kept in spool, so I have no way of knowing if the
bug is here.)

What is happening is that some of the mail I saved is coming back the
next time I use mail.

Any ideas?
