(Yes, biff insists on beeping and won't flash your screen.) For csh, put a line like set mail=(10 /usr/spool/mail/$user) in your .cshrc to have csh check your mailbox every 10 minutes or at your next prompt, whichever is later. If there's new mail, you get a little 'You have new mail.' message. "When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all."
