What if the user also uses an application that writes to the
mail spool but uses a different locking scheme than /bin/mail?
Then the other app is busticated, pure and simple. There's no really sane
choice for locking the mail spool than "exactly the same thing that the
system /bin/mail uses".
What if the user doesn't want to/can't use fcntl, and that's what
/bin/mail uses, and the user removes it in favor of something else?
My point is that I don't see a problem leaving the knob here.
