Odd,
$ unset HOME; MAIL=/home/jidanni1/Maildir mail -H
No applicable messages

Why isn't MAIL enough?

Also if there are messages with HOME set, then should the error message
above be different? e.g., "HOME not set, cannot give accurate answers
for some reason. Aborting'.

mail (GNU Mailutils) 2.99.98

I pushed 131ddb25, which fixes this. Thanks for reporting.
