Sean gave Scott this example:

| # dir must exist though
| MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
| LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
|
| (OTOH, this tosses a file into your mail dir which your MUA (Mail User
| Agent - the prog with which you locally manipulate mail) may want to list
| as a mailbox when you're choosing files to view, which isn't necessarily a
| bad thing anyway.)

For me, it would be a bad thing, but the solution is easy: I give the logfile
a basename that starts with a period.  Another way, of course, is to have the
logfile somewhere other than $MAILDIR.
