if a user is logged on multiple times, terminal information +is repeated once per login. +.Pp +Mail status is shown as ``No Mail.'' if there is no mail at all, ``Mail +last read DDD MMM ## HH:MM YYYY (TZ)'' if the person has looked at their +mailbox since new mail arriving, or ``New mail received ...'', ``Unread +since ...'' if they have new mail. +.It Fl m +Prevent matching of +.Ar user +names. +.Ar User +is usually a login name;
