Submit #3375: [PATCH] mail(1):  adapt to terminal size changes.

----------------------------------------
Here's a trivial patch to improve mail(1)/mailx(1)/Mail(1) a little bit:
take notice of terminal/window size changes.  To experience the effect:

	- run mail(1) in a, say, 80 column terminal window on some
	  mailbox and "h" to see a header listing, which will typically
	  have space only for abridged subjects:

& h

N  2 root at freddie.marshla  Sun Dec 15 03:01 120/5253  "freddie.marshlabs.gae"
N  3 root at freddie.marshla  Mon Dec 16 03:14  82/2880  "freddie.marshlabs.gae"
N  4 root at freddie.marshla  Mon Dec 16 03:15 119/5252  "freddie.marshlabs.gae"
&

	- resize the terminal width to, say, 132 columns.
	- re-issue the "h".

Without this patch, the subjects will still be abridged as before,
with the patch the new extra space gets used.
