I discovered with mail (GNU Mailutils 1.2) if one does as an experiment
$ cd; MAIL= mail
and one has a file with a name like 211 there, mail will open that
thinking it is your mailbox. Strace shows
open("/home/jidanni//211", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4Apparently it looks for files that match ls|grep -v '[^0-9]' and maybe others. _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
