(In fact I get it even if I don't set MAILCHECK, since MAILCHECK is set in /etc/zshrc, the system's startup file -- I just get it less fequently then). Since I'm using the maildir mailbox format in mutt, where each mail-message is its own file, the message actually looks like this: The mail in /home/2/r/rj/.mail//cur/916798766.10989_0.shell3:2,S has been read. The mail in /home/2/r/rj/.mail//cur/916798766.10989_1.shell3:2,S has been read. The mail in /home/2/r/rj/.mail//cur/916798766.10989_2.shell3:2,S has been read. The mail in /home/2/r/rj/.mail//cur/916798766.10989_3.shell3:2,S has been read. The mail in /home/2/r/rj/.mail//cur/916798766.10989_4.shell3:2,RS has been read. The mail in /home/2/r/rj/.mail//cur/916842288.1278.shell3:2,RS has been read. for however many messages are in my inbox. Of course MAILCHECK also gives me the "You have new mail." message. My question is, how can I get rid of "The mail in ___ has been read" without getting rid of "You have new mail" ?
