What's wrong:

tarmail displays the tar file it creates, then spits out the standard
/usr/prototype_user/README.mail

What should have happened:

1) it's a c-shell script, so it should start with #!/bin/csh -f
2) it is using the alias for 'mail' rather than the command...this is
fixed if it uses csh -f to start itself.

NOTE:  untarmail is probably similarly hosed.
