- Replacements for mailq and from:
-
- mq - selectively display the mail queue.
- options exist to list mail from or to a particular site, list
- mail exclusive of a particular site, and list mail without the
- truncation of long pathnames.
-
- from - makes `from' output look somewhat like `Mail' "header" output
- in that it prints out a minimalistic pathname to the sender and
- the subject line. It catches subject titles that `Mail' some-
- times misses like news articles saved in mbox format.
-
- I have listed the machine/OS combinations (BSD/SysV) that I have
- successfully compiled and run the programs in the Makefile.
-
- One comment, however. No checking is done with respect to what other
- programs (or users) are doing to the mail queue files and mailboxes.
- (I have received segmentation faults _occasionally_ when, I assume,
- `sendmail' is deleting a file that `mq' wants to read. I'm a scientific
- programmer that did this for "fun" and don't know what to do about this
- situation. `From' seems to be pretty resilient, though.)
