+.sh 1 Introduction
+.pp
+.i Mail
+provides a simple and friendly environment for sending and receiving mail.
+It divides incoming mail into
+its constituent messages and allows the user to deal with them
+in any order. In addition, it provides a set of
+.i ed -\c
+like commands for manipulating messages and sending mail.
+.i Mail
+offers the user simple editing capabilities to ease the composition
+of outgoing messages, as well as providing the ability to define and send
+to names which address groups of users. Finally,
+.i Mail
+is able to send and receive messages across such networks as the
+ARPANET, UUCP, and Berkeley network.
+.pp
+This document describes how to use the
+.i Mail
+program to send and receive messages. The reader is not assumed to
+be familiar with other message handling systems, but should be
+familiar with the \s-2UNIX\s0\**
+.(f
+\** \s-1UNIX\s0 is a trademark of Bell Laboratories.
+.)f
+shell, the text editor, and some of the common \s-2UNIX\s0 commands.
+.q "The \s-2UNIX\s0 Programmer's Manual,"
+.q "An Introduction to Csh,"
+and
+.q "Text Editing with Ex and Vi"
+can be consulted for more information on these topics.
+.pp
+Here is how messages are handled:
+the mail system accepts incoming
+.i messages
+for you from other people
+and collects them in a file, called your
+.i "system mailbox" .
+When you login, the system notifies you if there are any messages
+waiting in your system mailbox. If you are a
+.i csh
+user, you will be notified when new mail arrives if you inform
+the shell of the location of your mailbox. On version 7 systems,
+your system mailbox is located in the directory /var/mail
+in a file with your login name. If your login name is
+.q sam,
+then you can make
+.i csh
+notify you of new mail by including the following line in your .cshrc
+file:
+.(l
+set mail=/var/mail/sam
+.)l
+When you read your mail using
+.i Mail ,
+it reads your system mailbox and separates that file into the
+individual messages that have been sent to you. You can then
+read, reply to, delete, or save these messages.
+Each message is marked with its author and the date they sent it.
