Is this a joke and it belongs in net.jokes or is this for real?!

If this guy is serious, try entering:   mail 
or if mail doesn't work, use Mail.  Of course the <>'s aren't included.
This an abbreviation, of course.  Want more info, try the command: man mail

Now all of this is based on the 4.xBSD UNIX.  I think SYSTEM V etc is the
same, but I have learned not to count on that.
