   I tried today at a Slackware 15.0 system were I had a mail in   
   /var/spool/mail to start "mail" (where /usr/bin/mail is a symbolic link   
   to mailx) and at the interactive mail prompt type:   
      
   errors   
      
   From that command I got the reply:   
      
   The error ring is empty   
      
   So the "errors" command seem to do something at the interactive mail   
   prompt.   
      
   regards Henrik
