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 obnoxiously.

HISTORY

     The countmail program first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.  countmail was first written by Noah
     Friedman <friedman@splode.com> in 1993.  This version was written by Charles M. Hannum
     ⟨mycroft@NetBSD.org⟩.

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.
