My reasoning is close to Luke's: to support legacy mail notification
programs.  However, I see your point.  I wasn't really thinking about
how it affects backups and syncronization.  I can see how this can
introduce problems w/ programs like, say, rsync.

I change my vote then.  But mutt isn't really a democracy.. ;-)

In any case, it's only three lines of code which can be readded by bash
users if they are taken out.  ;-)
