- is prepended to each delivered mail message.
- A blank line is appended to each message.
- A greater-than character (``>'') is prepended to any line in the message
- which could be mistaken for a ``From '' delimiter line
- (that is,
- a line beginning with the five characters
- ``From '' following a blank line).

- flock(2)
- while mail is appended,
