[comp.os.vms] Interesting VMS V5.0 MAIL tidbit

IMHW400@INDYVAX.BITNET (07/08/88)

Background:  In VMS V5.0, the name of SYS$SYSTEM:VMSMAIL.DAT is supposed
to change to SYS$SYSTEM:VMSMAIL_PROFILE.DATA.  This site is currently running
VMS V4.6.

Just for kicks, I "SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=ALL" and then ran MAIL, to see what
files it looks for (other than the known ones).  Lo and behold, the first
file that MAIL wants is VMSMAIL_PROFILE.DATA!  I suppose this would be handy
on a system that might boot either 4.7 or 5.0, depending on the users' needs.
Gee, I wonder what other hidden goodies are lying around in 4.6/4.7?
