 On our FreeBSD 2.2.6 box, when new messages came in and I was logged onto
the server, I'd see who it was from and about the first two lines pop up on
my console.

 Since I put in the new server using FreeBSD 4.1.1-stable, I only see this:

marlo: {101} %
New mail for freymann@marlo.eagle.ca has arrived:
----

 I've read the man pages on biff and comsat but I don't see anything that
says how many lines of the incoming message will be displayed or how to
change it. Did I overlook the info I seek?

 I just issue a "biff n" command right now since the message alert is kinda
useless as it.
