Ok, I installed 'elm' a while back and it's not able to read the mailbox.
If I use 'mail', I can read mail, but not with elm. I noticed that with
'mail' it'susing /var/mail/$USER, and with elm it's using
/var/spool/mail/$USER. How can I get 'elm' to read the mailbox?
Also, how can I get my FreeBSD system to pull mail off my internet account?
I'm using a dynamic PPP connection.
