Greetings net.friends,
I would very much like to control the "biff" command. As i've
seen in the 4.3BSD manual and our on-line Ultrix 3.0 manual, i only
have the option of turning biff on or off. The control i seek would
ideally allow me to set biff to write to screen as much of the incoming
message as i would like. If the ideal isn't possible, then perhaps
someone knows how to get biff to simply beep with either a simple
message saying "you have mail" or no message at all.
Thanks for your attention,
______
