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.
