Fixing /var/mail in a secure manner is nontrivial.

I've been avoiding 2187 because (1) I don't have any references for
Lose95's extensions of the MSDOS file system and (2) I can't test the
fix.  I'm sure most of the other developers have similar issues,
instead of an issue with the patch itself (but I can't speak for them).
