Actually, it doesn't when you've only got MAIL (uppercase) set.  You
are right though, with both "mail" and "MAIL" XEmacs does pick up on
things for new mail notification.  This seems strange and non-standard
to me.  I don't think I've seen a case when just "MAIL" is ignored and
"mail" is needed.  GNU Emacs doesn't work this way as I mentioned.  Oh
well, thanks for the tip.
