When the -user option is specified for either of these commands, the PO box
checked is the one for the user running the command, not for the user specified
on the command line.  Demonstration:

% whoami  
sgs
% hesinfo jfc pobox 
POP E40-PO.MIT.EDU jfc
% hesinfo sgs pobox
POP ATHENA-PO-1.MIT.EDU sgs
% msgchk -user jfc
jfc doesn't have any mail waiting on ATHENA-PO-1.MIT.EDU
% msgchk -user jfc -host e40-po
jfc has 4 messages (3800 bytes) on e40-po
