I understand what's expected, but programs should be liberal in what
they accept as input, including environment variables or the lack
thereof.  Just have a message that says "set your MAIL variable and
read the documentation" in the monitor instead of a stack trace.  New
users will appreciate it, and the extra code is what, 3-5 lines?
