So, we will use $HOME if it is set.

>/var/mail/$USER        Location of the system mail drop.

But we don't actually use $USER (we call getpwuid(getuid()) and use that).

I personally interpreted the use of $USER as "the username goes here",
not "we use the value of the $USER environment variable".  But I admit
that this is not clear.

See my previous email; turns out that it was a bug.
