There is a Unix program called "finger" which can be invoked to look up
users on systems; it is not 100% reliable, though (it generally only works
across Unix-compatible systems, and some system administrators block their
systems from such access).

I "fingered" mycoll@unm.edu and got the error, "No such user"...could it be
that you did not get the exact correct spelling down? ...or might anyone
have reason to forge such a message to you? (Forging e-mail is a fairly
trivial hack...no, i will *not* tell you how to do it).
