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.

SEE ALSO

     from(1)

HISTORY

     The countmail program first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.

AUTHORS

     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.
