Hi,
If you use mailagent, then change the line in ~/.mailagent
from:
# Biffing support
biff : OFF # Whether biff is wanted
to
# Biffing support
biff : ON # Whether biff is wanted
Then you get biff like messages, but you can configure the
stuff mailagent sends you

======================excerpt from ~/.mailagent=============================
# Biffing support
