NAME
mgrmail - Notification of mail arrival

SYNOPSIS
mgrmail [ -s ] [ -x<pos> ] [ -y<pos> ] [ -f<font> ] [ -p<poll> ] [ -M<mailer> ]

DESCRIPTION
Mgrmail looks for, and announces the arrival of new mail. When initially invoked, mgrmail shrinks its window to the single line Looking for new mail. When new mail arrives, mgrmail rings the bell, and states You have new mail. If the mgrmail window is activated, usually by clicking on it with the mouse, It creates a larger window with readmail running in it.

While in the readmail window, the middle mouse button activates a menu of commonly used mail commands.

Mgrmail recognizes the following command line flags:

-s  Don't reshape the window upon mgrmail invocation.

-x<pos>
    Starting x-coordinate of readmail window.

-y<pos>
    Starting y-coordinate of readmail window.

-f<font_number>
    Font to use for readmail window.

-p<poll interval>
    Look for new mail every poll interval seconds (defaults to 60).

-M<mailer>
    Use mailer to read mail, instead of mail.

BUGS
The readmail window sleeps for a second at its termination to permit mail to indicate new mail arrival while reading mail.

Destroying the mail subwindow is a bad thing to do.
