System mail message to root from Pat

You know the system mail message that Pat leaves root welcoming them to Slackware and other things. There are some good things in there. I wanted to know how I could copy that so other user on the system could read it in a text file or something. What file would I copy?

Thanks

The file is:

Code:
/var/spool/mail/root
