Try : cat $HOME/somefile >> $HOME/anotherfile 1>/dev/null

Can't try it myself at the moment, but may work.

Later ...

Actually, what you had initially was ok ( cat $HOME/somefile >> $HOME/anotherfile ) - just tested it then.
When you use the `>>` you are directing STDOUT to the second file so the first file won't scroll bye.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  biff  command  informs the system whether you want to be notified when mail arrives during the current terminal session. The following

       The following command disables notification: biff n

       When mail notification is enabled, the From: and Subject: header lines and up to the first five lines of the  message  are  displayed.  The

       The biff y command is often included in the $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file to be executed each time you log in.

       The biff command operates asynchronously. For synchronous notification, use the MAIL variable of sh or ksh, or the mail variable of csh.
