Stavanger, October 1993. ** NMAIL.EXE version 1.21 ** Pegasus Mail [ (c) David Harris ] is an excellent mail system for Novell NetWare. It provides great flexibility and tight integration with Netware which makes it a number one choice in my opinion. NMAIL is a small utility that can replace the original NEWMAIL program that is included with Pegasus Mail and will give you more freedom as to the format you want newmail information displayed. NMAIL can be run from the SYSTEM LOGIN SCRIPT which is mainly where you would use the many switches to customize the output of NMAIL. This includes both running NMAIL using the #NMAIL way, or activating it using a batchfile and the EXIT statement. NMAIL can also be used at the dos prompt to see from whom you received mail and what the subject of their message is. You can then decide if you want to run PMAIL to read your message or wait until a later stage. It is a bit difficult / cumbersome to remember all the switches if you run it from DOS - so make yourself a batchfile or be satisfied with the default configuration. The whole point of using NMAIL is that because it is so fast, you need not start PMAIL for every message you receive. Spending time typing switches could better be used to start PMAIL and read your mail. Usage is as follow : The alternative NEWMAIL 1.21 for Pegasus Mail, (C) 1992,1993 Laski -f : write no From -d : write no Date -s : write no Subject -l : List attachments -p : Pause when the output finishes with new messages -a : pause when the output finishes Anyhow -b : Break screen pages -q : don't play those *!#@_&& sounds (Quiet mode) -n : i don't like that fancy stuff, behave Normal -o : Only make sound if newmail, no screen output -h : Hide away, no mail -> no output [This option will always display the xxx New mail messages under normal circumstances] -c : newmail information for Current server only -r : don't print Read & kept newmail from the newmail folder -g : George's tabular output (columnwise output) -e : don't print a hEader -t : display number of newmail messages on Top -z : don't clear screen at startup -? : gives you this list (Options may be specified using either '/' or '-') Please send all comments to laski@hauk.hsr.no NMAIL will parse newmail information in the Pegasus style, it supports MHS headers, and it is supposed to work in a multi server environment reading newmail information from all attached servers.
