MAIL on Solaris

[Luc Dierckx]

On Solaris, the environment variable MAIL gets set to
/var/mail//user, (with double // before user name),which breaks
some MUAs, e.g. emacs' Rmail. The problem lies in the fact that 
/usr/include/maillock.h has:

#define MAILDIR         "/var/mail/"

while session.c adds another /

snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%.200s/%.50s",
      _PATH_MAILDIR, pw->pw_name);

This only occurs on systems with maillock.h (i.e. not on linux)
