Description of problem:
The code to check to see if you have new mail is wrong.
There is a logic error.  The operator && was used when ||
should have been used.  This error causes all shells to tell
you that you have new email, even after you have read the email.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself email.  Wait 60 seconds.
2. On one xterm, press enter.  You should see "you have mail"
3. Now, read your email (if mutt is running, hit any key)
4. On a second xterm, press enter.  You will see "you have mail",
   even though you have already read the email.
	

Actual Results:  All shells report you have mail

Expected Results:  You should only see the message until you read the
email.  After
that, other shells should be silent.

Here is a patch to fix the problem
