because i don't just want a "you have new mail" at the command line, i want -- for each box -- to see how many messages are in that box when i tell it to tell me. maybe i should modify my script so it uses the MAILPATH variable, instead of a .xbuffy file, though -- that's kind of cool. </nori> -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/ // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net ^`~'^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
