The flag you are looking for is: hold. Check your /usr/lib/Mail.rc (system wide)
and .mailrc (for each user) files for this flag. It *should* be documented in 
the man pages (it is on our system uws3.1)! If you are working with a DEC-VAX
you should have the entire manual pages on the distribution tape.
