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
