Set the "record" variable [1] to the name of the file to save the mail to.
The best place to do so is in your .mailrc file [2], e.g.:
set record=saved-mail
If the need be, you can also do so from the command line, like that:
echo "hello" | mail -E 'set record=saved-mail' -s 'hello' someone@somewhere
By default, the mail is saved in a UNIX mbox format. If you prefer
other format, use the full URL, e.g.
set record=maildir:~/saved-mail
Regards,
Sergey
