I had a lot of problems getting the notices from the POP server to print
out with the Sender, Receiver and Subject lines.  I had added the following
to .zephyr.desc:

match MAIL
        does $instance
        match pop
                exec /usr/athena/zmailnotify
                exit
        endmatch
        match popret
                fields from to subject
                show
                        @bold(From:) $from
                        @bold(To:) $to
                        @bold(Subject:) $subject
                endshow
        endmatch
        enddoes
endmatch

and had the following in my .zephyr.subs file:

mail,pop,%me%
mail,popret,%me%

It did not work at all until I changed the "%me" in the popret
entry to be "rar@Athena.mit.edu".

Why didn't just "%me% work?
