[9fans] A small fix for nedmail.

[cross]

The help information in nedmail had a typo, and said `x' would both
exit without synching, and synchronize the mailbox (really the job of
`y').  Here's a context diff.

oh cool.  this morning i realised i could used a ? : but python has
erradicated that thought.  given we have infinite cpu power i
chose a function, over a macro 'cos it's type checked and you
don't have to bracket everything to death.

i usually take the easy way out and write ``N message(s)''

this will not do [floyd].  to (mis)quote chef tony bourdain:

     in my off hours i am sloppy to a fault
     but, at the job i won't tolerate less than perfection

he also speaks of:

    that lovable psychotic edge

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
    persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
    depends on the unreasonable man.
