Good. I propose the following, then:
(defvar mail-source-spool-directory
(if (boundp 'rmail-spool-directory) rmail-spool-directory
"/usr/spool/mail/"))
And then, the default file name for a `file' mail-sources entry is
(expand-file-name user-login-name mail-source-spool-directory).
If nobody objects, I'll do this.
