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. -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
