I was just poking through the source to /bin/mail (4.1BSD). Lookie here:
if (strncmp(name, "researc", 7)) {
strcpy(rsys, "research");
if (*name != '!')
--name;
goto skip;
}
Now what is *that* doing in there, after all this time?! This is fine
for Bell Labs but gollee gee whiz, at least it ought to be ``#ifdef''ed.
Amazed at what still lurks in the hearts of machines,
