Subject: [PLUG] formatting output with ls

Now that user names can be longer than 8 characters, I'm trying to get a 
aligned columnar listing from a directory such as /var/spool/mail.  I've 
seen an example of this somewhere, but for the life of me I can't remember 
how to do this.  I believe it was an option to /bin/ls.  So far my searches 
have come up short.  Ideas?
