Aside: the other args should be quoted too, because you never know when an
argument might contain a space.

A safer approach is to use this form:  /usr/bin/mail "$@"

"$@" (including the double quotes) expands to the list of parameters passed
to the script, each one properly quoted. That is, it's the same as
"$1" "$2" "$3" ... for as many parameters as the script has.
