Anyone checking their mailboxes in the installer's interactive shell? MAIL If set, the user will be informed of the arrival of mail in the named file. This parameter is ignored if the MAILPATH parameter is set.
MAILCHECK ... MAILPATH ... Put it behind !SMALL to save some bits; no `grep -r MAIL distrib/' hits. It could also be a feature like -DVI, but vi mode actually seems reasonable to flip in custom builds while I can't think of a use case for -DMAIL. Feedback? Objection? OK?
