You are told when you make an ftp connection to the homepages server.

The moving finger can also be used to list mail waiting, of course...

Either run Finger from the ANT Suite's Apps window, and (as 'escarpment' is
your node name) Lookup escarpment@post.demon.co.uk with Verbose results
ticked.

Or create an Obey file in Edit (add it to the Pinboard for convenience)
containing the following line of text:

taskwindow "Finger -long escarpment@post.demon.co.uk" -display -quit
 
(end the line with Return) and run it whilst on line.

Fingering other people's mail list possible, but details aren't given.
