You must have seen this file in /var/spool/mail, right? I've seen this 
too. This is the old file mail file for user watasuik. It gets created 
when you change settings for the user when the user is logged in 
[changing groups, etc]. It seems that the systems gets confused about 
which user's mail it is. Somebody on this list can give you a more 
technical explanation. But if you see the user's mail file 
[/var/spool/mail/watasiuk] as well, you can just merge the two files to 
get the complete mail for the user.
