Synopsis:
   set status_mail [<text>]

Description:
   This variable sets the string displayed in the status bar when email is
   present in the user's mailbox.  The mail does not necessarily need to
   be new.  If the user's mailbox is empty, nothing is displayed.

   This string is represented as %M in the STATUS_FORMAT string.  Within
   STATUS_MAIL, the expando will expand to the number of messages in the
   mailbox.

Examples:
   Customizing the string displayed when the mailbox contains messages:
      /set status_mail Mail: %M
