Plenty -- but like I said later in my msg, I

NOM = nomail
NOF = nofile

If done interactively (bitnet messaging) then there is a difference.
W/O the MAIL prefix, notification to the owner is sent by messaging
which makes it "tough" to save the message.  W/ MAIL, you get an e-mail
notification for filing.  The MAIL prefix is also "nice" for other
commands that would have returned there output interactively e.g.,
DATA LIST
