[cobalt-users] RE: kill a single email message in a pop box

No utility is required but I use elm versus pine.

You can login as root and run 
# elm -f /var/mail/username 

Or use 'sudo' from your personal account
% sudo elm -f /var/mail/username

Subject: kill a single email message in a pop box


I'm looking for a utility that could allow me as a root user to log into any
spool mail file and delete just a single message. I had to do this today but
in order to get it done I had to grant the user shell access, log in as the
user, and use pine to remove the offending email. Is there a utility that
will allow me to do this without logging in as the user? Sort of like a pine
program that allows me to select a mail file?

Thanks,
Kevin
