Not to be picky, but it feels to me
$ mail
takes a long time to start up in general.

BTW, Say, perhaps a --readonly option could be added, where we could get
the same enjoyment of poking around our mailbox, without some of the
burden of whatever it does that takes so long.  Yes, I see there are
 -H, --headers              Write a header summary and exit
 -p, --print                Print all mail to standard output
add: "and exit"
 -r, --read                 Same as -p
say "Same as --print" so we don't have to dig around with the eyes as much.
