I don't know how to print out environment variables, but echo $MAIL and echo $mail both are empty. I should have mentioned this to begin with, but the actual message I am getting is; "you have mail in /usr/david" which points to my home directory, which maybe is the result when $MAIL is empty. However, I don't see what specific file in /usr/david that would be triggering the message. I do notice that I am getting incoming mail in /usr/david/tmp which each carry the mutt-??? tag. Note; $ cd /usr/david/tmp $ ls -tl total 640 -rw------- 1 david wheel 2430 Aug 2 11:59 mutt-3s1-90mKAzA6-00009 -rw------- 1 david wheel 811 Aug 2 11:59 mutt-3s1-FNIv9bVN-00011 -rw------- 1 david wheel 570 Aug 2 11:59 mutt-3s1-aZ5J9HO3-00010 -rw------- 1 david wheel 20426 Aug 2 11:59 mutt-3s1-lrTCGdNH-00002 -rw------- 1 david wheel 6642 Aug 2 11:26 mutt-3s1-3W5nolSR-00031 -rw------- 1 david wheel 6441 Aug 2 11:26 mutt-3s1-K3kNAS2C-00029 -rw------- 1 david wheel 2463 Aug 1 19:17 mutt-3s1-YVeXwBSz-00015 -rw------- 1 david wheel 27678 Aug 1 19:16 mutt-3s1-3EfX7G7s-00008 ... and so on the top message is yours
