Are you sure Fred?  I don't sound right to me.  By default /bin/mail is
going to try to append mail to /usr/spool/mail/user.  There's
some kind of code in the 4.3 binmail source to handle the /u/s/m/user/user
case, but it's ifdef'ed out.  Perhaps some other mail agent likes to work
this way and the person with the problem lost that magic mail agent...
