this confused me a little

["Zachary Florian" <icthusianz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so here i am working on getting my X sessions default resolution to where i
want... i get X shutdown (i had to restart, i don't know any other good
ways) and login as root... it tells me that i have mail after my 'last
login' line... this seems odd to me because of course i have yet to get this
online... i understand it's probably just the computer telling me that i
screwed up somewhere in my user account... so how do i read this mail?
