Since I updated s-nail's master branch 10 days ago (after the
"Albatross" announcment), s-nail felt unable to lock (and hence update)
my /var/mail/$USER spool file.  (A classic, local, single mbox-style
nail spool.)

Upon "q"uitting, there is actually an error msg stating "could not lock
/var/mail/neitzel" or something similar, but I didn't see these parting
words earlier because I usually run s-nail in its own (screen(1)) window.
At any rate, after 10 days it was obvious that the spool file only
kept growing.  D'oh.

A brutal

        git revert 328d46ab8f4ce78f28c9c58efba77a5b7717e887

fixed that again.  I tried to pinpoint the fault but wasn't
able to do so by mere inspection of the 328d46ab commit diff.
