I also get the "mailbox: Error 0" message, I only started getting it after I
upgraded to Irix 4.0.5. It's not a function of the specific mail program
either; I get that same message whether I use mail, Mail or elm. Note that 
the error message only appears in the window that launched Mailbox. If that
window is deleted I'll never see it.
