Check your login scripts and make sure you aren't running "mesg n" in a
script that's called on every invocation. If your shell is zsh, for
example, the following files are executed, in this order:
.zshenv -- always loaded
.zprofile -- loaded if login shell
.zshrc -- loaded if interactive shell
.zlogin -- loaded if login shell
So you would put "mesg n" in .zprofile or .zlogin. Check your shell's
manpage for more info.
