countmail6
Be obnoxious about how much mail you have
Usage
countmail
Overview
The countmail program counts your mail and tells you about it rather obnoxiously.
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.
