Agreed.

Both forms are already working. Give it a try :^)

Works only if neither MAIL nor FOLDER are set. There is still some
work to be done in mailbox_create_default...

Hmm... I guess this should be understood as a subdirectory 'joe' in
the current working directory.

Yes, I have already restored this functionality. Although the heuristics
seems to be very primitive.

Oh, sure, we'll have to define the policy. So far we seem to have
agreed that it should favor --mail-spool over the environment
variables (right now it acts contrary-wise).
OK, I'll write a bit later --- telnetd is taking too much time :^)
