- "om" is an option which allows the user control over whether
- or not he will be notified about pending mail. Typing "om"
- simply toggles the switch controlling notification.
- The default is for the editor to notify the user about his
- mail. The mail box which the editor uses is taken from the
- environment variable MAIL. If the mail box exists, but is empty
- the user will not be notified.

- To read your mail, use a shell escape on whichever of the fol-
- lowing programs is appropriate:
-
- Mail msg mail
