Timo:

Sorry for the slow response, I was out of town for a couple of days. 
Below is the complete message.  It isn't available when I get my mail 
via
POP3 but is there every time I run 'mail' from the command line. 

Thanks,

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is 
not a real message.  It is created automatically by the mail system 
software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will 
be re-created with the data reset to initial values.
