bsd mail behavior

[karron at MCIRPS2.MED.NYU.EDU]

I miss being able to set the "prompt" variable and have the mail
prompt set the way I want. I usually set the prompt to reflect the
machine I am on(in that window)

Also, Mail does not respect the "mbox" value. I usually sweep my $HOME/mbox
into a mail archive at night. Why not just set the value to append
from inside Mail ? This is the behavior on other bsd machines, and it
would be useful here.

Is there a way to put my mail aliases into another file, instead of
my $HOME/.mailrc ? (Al La Sun)
