The following script shows my attempts to read my mail using mailx. Results are the same for mail. Is the command 'p' used to print the message to the terminal, as the man page states? I have been utterly unsuccessful in reading my mail under Linux, resorting to windows for that purpose. I also am still struggly to get sendmail properly configured.
All replies welcome!
