It treats an unset variable as an error.  Very handy for making sure
your backup script doesn't overwrite your root filesystem when you write

Did you know?  Most email-borne viruses use a false sender address.
Therefore you cannot track down the sender using that address.  Instead,
keep your virus scanning software up-to-date and just delete any
suspicious emails you receive.
