Re: stop "You have mail in /var/mail/mike"

[Mike McClain <mike.junk.46@att.net>]

    I am running bash on a Raspberry PI 4B.
mike@RPI4b3:~> uname -a
Linux MikesPI 6.1.0-rpi7-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.63-1+rpt1 (2023-11-24) aarch64 GNU/Linux
    While not annoying on startup or when opening a new TTY, it is most annoying
when entering a command on the commandline, breaking the command onto two lines with
'You have mail' in the midst. It will look like this:
mike@RPI4b3:~> ls /mc/bYou have mail in /var/mail/mike
in/my.*
mike@RPI4b3:~> echo $MAIL
/var/mail/mike
You have mail in /var/mail/mike
mike@RPI4b3:~> echo $MAILCHECK
0
This is set in a file pulled in by ~.bashrc as export MAILCHECK=0
and has been for years.
Note the line between the echo statements that I just copied from tye CLI
on another tty.

Other suggestions welcome,
Mike
