I think the poster is probably recalling one of the Steve Hayman/tcj
"how to X with the fewest possible keystrokes" trivia contests.

In this case, I recall that Mail will respond "Okie dokie -- Core dumped"
if you type "core" in response to its prompt.  So, assuming you have mail
in your spool queue, and "mail" is an alias (link) to Mail (it usually is),
that's 8 keystrokes.  I don't know offhand if "Okie dokie" is a Steve
Haymanism or stock Mail message.

Cheers,
