try ls .mailrc. If you don't find it your mail program has no configuration other than default. You may have an entry in the man pages for .mailrc man .mailrc if it's there will show you acceptable file format and will also show you what your options are. Understand that's good for mail and I think mailx but not the other mail handlers.
