echo $MAIL

Hello, I'm trying to learn Mutt. On the My First Mutt web site http://mutt.blackfish.org.uk/storage/it says that Mutt by default looks in the mailspool for mail. It then says to find your mailspool do this: echo $MAIL well, when I do that I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $MAIL [EMAIL

Re: echo $MAIL

$MAIL well, when I do that I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $MAIL [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ It looks like MAIL either doesn't exist or contains nothing. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: echo $MAIL

your mailspool | do this: | | echo $MAIL I guess. You can probably set that to override the default. The default (at least as compiled for debian) is one of /var/mail/$USER or /var/spool/mail/$USER. (it doesn't really matter -- one is a symlink to the other) | As you can see, i get nothing
