Bug Description

The version of dma coming with Xenial is 0.9-1 and puts a Tab character between sender name and stamp in the From line. This causes a "You have new mail." message on login, but running "mail" (from mailutils) gives "No mail for $USER.".

Changing all those tabs to spaces makes "mail" work.

This was fixed in dma 0.11, see https://github.com/corecode/dma/issues/38 .
