[NTLUG:Discuss] Deleting a users email..

[Bobby Wrenn]

The mail is stored in a text file in /var/spool/mail/username. Use VI
and go to the first line of the message you want to delete. set a mark
(ma) go to eht last line of the message and delete back to the mark
(d'a). Save the file and exit (:wq).
That should do it.
