Why won't my message sign come on when I log in? I have to go into mail in
order to find out if I have mail or not. What do I do?

Hi,

have you tried putting something like

mail -e && echo "Dear Emily, be happy, you have mail."

into your .profile? Err, someone for (t)csh's .login?

hth, norbert.
