Subject: how to get told about mail in unix

I know some people get told in unix that they have unread mail, and I was 
just wondering how to do this.  I assume it has something to do with 
configuring pine, but I am not sure.  Thanks for any help.

No, they're using biff.  Type "man biff".  The Jargon File can explain
the etymology of the name.
