COUNTMAIL(6)

NAME
     countmail - be obnoxious about how much mail you have

SYNOPSIS
     countmail

DESCRIPTION
     The countmail program counts your mail and tells you about it rather ob-
     noxiously.

HISTORY
     The countmail first appeared in countmail was first written by Noah
     Friedman lt;friedman@splode.com in 1993.  This version was written by
     Charles Hannum lt;mycroft@mit.edu.

CAVEATS
     The read loop is horrendously slow on every shell implementation tried.
     countmail uses from(1) and wc(1) instead, though these are not shell
     builtins.

SEE ALSO
       from(1).
