FYI;- The sudo users mailing list quickly said the 3 issues I identified
are known bugs, which have been fixed in newer sudo versions.

http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/stable.html
"The current stable release of sudo is 1.8.10p3"

$ sudo -V
Sudo version 1.7.2p8

$ uname -a
OpenBSD teak.britvault.co.uk 5.4 GENERIC#37 i386

> Bug 387 refers to MAIL being fixed in 1.7.4:

> 
> Bug 527 (FreeBSD "sudo -i" doesn't use variables from /etc/login.conf)
> seems to be similar: http://www.sudo.ws/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=527
> which is logged as Fixed in sudo 1.8.4
> 
> Maybe that fix also covers the login.conf path & umask issues:
> 
> http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/stable.html#1.8.4
> On systems that use login.conf, sudo -i now sets environment variables
> based on login.conf.
> 
> 
> http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/stable.html#1.8.5
> The initial evironment created when env_reset is in effect now includes
> the contents of /etc/environment on AIX systems and the "setenv" and
> "path" entries from /etc/login.conf on BSD systems.
