- ensure hostname from gethostname() is nul-terminated in all cases
- minor KNF

- find "from:" and "subject:" as well.
- use strvis(3) rather than some local crufty code.
This closes an apparent security problem on systems where users have

could not access, and use comsat to view said file. This fix simply
makes sure that the mail file is a REGular file.
