2/14    When I run "mail" in my shell (/usr/bin/mail), it says:
                mail: /var/mail/yuen: Is a directory
        How do I get "mail" to work again?  Thanks.
        \_ We use Maildir rather than mbox. Mutt handles this particularly well.
           Alternatively, you could log in with IMAPS using alpine. Maintaining
           our mail system, unfortunately, has been an enormous pain which
           virtually no current members use. We recommend using mail forwarding.
           While there is something to be said for the experience our sysadmins
           gain from running mail systems, the fact is that this skill is less
           relevant with time and we have other time priorities (those of us
           who actually keep things running, that is). Sorry. :( --toulouse
