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.
