Careful.  This will only work if there is no centralized mailserver, ie
  where the OS will create a mail daemon for you running AS YOU.  Otherwise,
  it won't understand the meaning of "~" or any path variables.  I know
  because I made this mistake over the weekend.  I tested it on my local
  machine, and it worked fine, but it bounced all incoming mail that
  went through the central server.
