Is there a way that I can make it so my "biff" announcements are briefer?

That is to say, when I get mail it interrupts me and says:

	New mail for jfw@neuro has arrived:
	----
	Date: Fri, 28 Sep 90 11:21:08 EDT
	From: jfw@neuro.duke.edu (John F. Whitehead)
	To: jfw
	
	Fri Sep 28 11:21:07 EDT 1990

	----

Can I make it so all it says is "New mail for jfw@neuro has arrived"?

I am running SunOS 4.1, which I guess is a Berkeley variation.  Thanks.
