Add mail file icon from NAB

As an administrator, you often have to add a client's mail file icon to your workspace. This usually involves opening the client's person doc in the NAB, noting the server, path and file name and then doing a file-database-open on your workspace. A much more convenient way is to create a SmartIcon to do all the work. Create an icon with the following code: @Command([AddDatabase];mailserver:mailfile)

Open the NAB, select the person doc of the client whose mail file you want to add to your workspace and click the SmartIcon. The mail file icon is added to whatever workspace page is active.
