I was just poking through the source to /bin/mail (4.1BSD).  Lookie here:

		if (strncmp(name, "researc", 7)) {
			strcpy(rsys, "research");
			if (*name != '!')
				--name;
			goto skip;
		}

Now what is *that* doing in there, after all this time?!  This is fine
for Bell Labs but gollee gee whiz, at least it ought to be ``#ifdef''ed.

Amazed at what still lurks in the hearts of machines,
