Was running Elm 2.1 PL1 on a diskless Sun workstation with /usr/spool/mail
mounted off of a remote Sun NFS file server. While reading mail, I received new
mail (newmail displayed output.) following that, the new message was the
only message available. I essentially lost my entire mailbox. Has this been
noticed before ?

(I know, I should have ^Z'd out and made a copy of /tmp/mbox.indra... but
who ever thinks of such smart things while in the middle of...)
