     In my .login file I have the line 

     setenv MORE = -c

and I am having trouble getting more to behave properly when reading
mail.  Specifically, after reading two screens of a note that is
several screens long and then pressing the "b" key I just get a beep.
I believe that I should instead get "paged" one page back.  This is
what happens when I use more on a file when I am not reading mail.  

     If someone can help, I would be most appreciative.

Below is a copy of my .mushrc file

-----------------

if $TERM == vt100
    set autoedit
else 
    unset autoedit
endif
set ask # - the default
set autoinclude

set dead="~/tmp/dead.letter"
set editor="/usr/local/bin/emacs"
#The next line is not needed since it sets the default value for folder
set folder="~/private/Mail"
set hdr_format="%10n %W %d (%3l/%5c) %27s"
set ignoreeof # - the default -- keeps your from exiting mail by `^D'
