Wow!  Why is rmail so BIG?  What does HP-UX rmail do that SMAIL 2.5
doesn't?  Contrast the size of this rmail with various executables
found on our 4.3 BSD system.

-rwxr-xr-x  2 root     staff       35840 Nov  3 07:02 /bin/rmail (SMAIL 2.5)
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     staff      104448 Jun  5  1986 /lib/ccom (C compiler)
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     staff       97280 Dec  5 05:17 /usr/local/carmen (Lisp)
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root     staff      100352 Apr  5  1987 /usr/lib/sendmail

Just curious,
