Bug#90287: Retraction -- my understanding of $MAIL was seriously flawed

[Arthur Korn <arthur@korn.ch>]

retitle 90287 [RETRACTED]  require the use of $MAIL
close 90287
thanks

While considering Manoj's critics I realised that $MAIL was
never intended as destination mailbox (and would only work if
MDAs did variable substitution on it's value). It would be nice
to have one single point where the mailbox could be set both for
the MDA and the MTA, unfortunately MAIL isn't the answer.

ciao, 2ri
