COUNTMAIL(6)							 BSD Games Manual						      COUNTMAIL(6)

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 ver-
     sion 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.

SEE ALSO
     from(1)
