A - All new mail, both to you and public mail to all users,
in every conference that you have selected for mail
scans. All new mail in any conference will be displayed
IF there is at least one new message addressed to you
in that conference. If a conference has new mail but

The default answer for the Read New Mail prompt is
No. Pressing ENTER alone is the same as pressing 'N' and ENTER.

a timeout of 20 seconds will occur after no keyboard activity.
The default option chosen if a timeout occurs is 'No'.
