Heheh. It took me a while to figure out what you were talking about here
when you were discussing your email problem and having it talk too much.
This is a feature of the mail system (it works on all unix variants as far
as I know) This behavior of displaying the first screen full of email as
it arrives is controled by an environment variable. If you type biff n at
your prompt (or add it to the system wide profile as I did) then this will
no longer be the default. Then mail will be quietly delivered to your
mailbox. Hope this helps.
