Hello.

This evening something new appeared on my box.
When I open an xterm or a KDE shell, I get:
"You have 10 mail messages in /var/mail/."

This does not happen when I login on ttyvX.

Nothing mail related is on this box (apart from KMail and Thunderbird) 
and "ls -l /var/mail" gives only zero size files, none of which is named 
after me.

My home is NFS mounted on a mail server, but that uses Cyrus IMAP, so, 
again, nothing relevant is in /var/mail even there.

Where do I look?

This is no stopper, but I'm just curious...

  bye & Thanks
	av.
