But see, it doesn't "work by default".  By default (with sendmail) mail
is just dropped in /var/spool/mail/root.  The user is given no hint,
documentation, or otherwise notification that they may want to configure
some email client to subscribe to this, which is quite difficult as a
normal user to subscribed to /var/spool/mail/root .  Things certainly
don't "work by default".  If you're interested in them working by
default, I would suggest helping out the situation and ensuring that
this vastly important email is delivered to the user rather than some
spool file a user has no access to.
