Hello, I must be missing something obvious, but since installing 6.4-current (on a few versions in a row), I can't get mail to read /var/mail/root.
After logging in, I see: >-------< OpenBSD 6.4-current (GENERIC.MP) #425: Sun Nov 4 [... skipped ...] You have mail. thor# mail No mail for root thor# mail -f /var/mail/root Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001.

I do receive local mail (e.g., from crontab) for a non-priveleged user created during setup. Any ideas of what might be going on? Best, ivpgbe
