If you use tcsh, this handy alias will display a one line message at 
your prompt telling you if and at what time new mail has arrived, or will 
display nothing if there has been no new mail.

In .cshrc, add the line:

alias precmd 'finger your_username | grep "New mail" | grep -v "no"'

Replace your_username with your real username, login again, and you're set.

I hope that this is useful for some people.
