At our site the mail files are not in /usr/spool.  In fact, they are
in different directories, depending on the user.  So setting MAILDIR
doesnt work for us, since there is not really any constant we can use.
Instead, we set the user's $MAIL variable when they log in to the name
of their mail file.

Any ideas on what changes could be made PORTABLY for mush to support
this type of thing?
