I tried tracing the eshell call chain after invoking mailx, but I
couldn't find where the tty gets created; can you point me to the code?
Also, why is the tty always created with the rows terminal
characteristic set to 0?  Does Eshell do this (if so, where?) or is it a
system or kernel default that Eshell doesn't change?  Thanks.
