*** POSTBOX Version 1.1 (c)1993 VKW ***
Purpose: looks for mail for current login on a specified LANTASTIC server
Useage: POSTBOX Servername {verbose} {all}
where: Servername is the name of the mail server
VERBOSE means give a detailed list
ALL means show all mail to anyone
Returns: 0 - mail found, program terminated normally
1 - NETBIOS not installed... program terminated
2 - no mail found, program terminated normally
3 - error... unable to look for mail, program terminated
Example: POSTBOX myserver verbose
This is a slightly more robust version of Lantastic's NET POSTBOX. This one
shows you more detail about your mail (if you set the VERBOSE switch) and
can also show you all mail on a server (good for system administrators).
It is clever enough to pause for a keypress only if you have mail...
making it perfect for AUTOEXEC.bat. It also returns errorlevels, so your
batch files can make intelligent decisions about what to do next.
