AUTHORS
countmail was first written by Noah Friedman ⟨[email protected]⟩ in 1993. This version was written by Charles M. Hannum ⟨[email protected]⟩.
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.
