This can be worked around in several ways (undefining the env var
MAIL, setting display-time-mail-file to t, etc), but I see those as
hacks around the problem of the "or". Changing it to a "cond" seems
to do the more correct thing.
In principle, the change you are asking for will make things more
flexible, since the user-defined function could check the standard
places too.
However, it would be an incompatible change, and I am not sure who
many users take advantage of the current code and would have to change
their init files. WIthout pollinmg the users to find out how many, I
think it is better to keep the code unchanged, and you can use one of
the various workarounds. For instance, you could set
display-time-mail-file to t.
