 Well, if we're agreed on not printing "No mail for .." in -e case, then there's
 a problem with setfile usage, which prints that for other usage cases. Of 
 course, I can add an additional flag to arguments, but.. Isn't it clearer to 
 use another function? 
 There is also an option of splitting setfile() in smaller parts, but it isn't 
 pretty applicable here -- hardly any part of it could be used in other places,
 than check_mail().
 
 Your words are my command :)
