Ilia,

    can you please explain what purpose your patch to mail.c is
    serving and why it is breaking backwards compatibility?  Or
    if the latter is not intentional, then why was the feature
    implemented in a such inadequate way?

    (Hint: Shells check PATH for executables. Your patch does
    not.)
