It?s quick to load a mailbox to see if something is in it, and it?s
handy on the command line to fire off test messages. Plus I have lots of
scripts that use it. But I definitely don?t use it as my regular mail

I'm not sure I can remember how to *read* mail with it though.
I use it all the time too since it?s very handy for system administration
