When you rethunk this please consider allowing for having/using more
than one "system mailbox" and "primary inbox".  I use elm's filter to
process incoming mail and have two mailboxes into which new mail
arrives.  VM works fine with the standard "/var/spool/mail/tar" but I
have to tiptoe around "~/Mail/mailing.lists".  I'd imagine that this
not an uncommon problem given the number and traffic of mailing lists
out there.
