Subject: changing system default mailbox

system OS: FreeBSD 4.4
Pine:	   pine 4.44

we like to change the place where pine looks for incoming email.

the old location is /var/mail/userid
the new location is /home.userid/.mbox

we're planing on using procmail as the local delivery agent
and its recipie will deliver to the new location.

I've changed /etc/login.conf to adjust the :setenv= tag,
ran the "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf" to rebuild the database.

then logged out
then logged in

setenv reports that the MAIL variable is now set correctly
to /home/fuzzy/.mbox. I manually copied some email to
.mbox to "prime the pump" then ran pine. pine still went
to /var/mail/fuzzy, and copied the data to /home/fuzzy/mbox?

what do I need to do to make pine look at /home/fuzzy/.mbox
(the value of the MAIL environment variable)?

Thanks

Fuzzy
