- I have a mailbox that gets installed through the following command in
- my .sgisession file:
-
- /usr/sbin/mailbox -S $USER -m 'EXINIT="se wm=8" /usr/sbin/xwsh -name
- "$USER mail" -bg 7 -fg 0 -bold 0 -selfg 1 -selbg 3 -e /usr/local/bin/elm'
- -S $USER -s 100 -L 44 -M 63
-
- (all on one line of course). Whenever I close it after reading some
- mail the flag goes up again and I have to open and close it without
- reading any mail to get the flag to stay down. When this happens the
- message "mailbox: Error 0" appears on the console window.
-
- I have other mailboxes that I open with the command:
-
- mailbox -m 'xwsh -title "$USER mail" -bg 7 -fg 0 -bold 0 -selfg 1 -selbg
- 3 -e /usr/local/bin/elm' -S $USER -s 100 -L 44 -M 63 $*
-
- in a shell script. These function fine. I haven't started playing around
- with the minor differences yet, but does anyone know why I have these
- problems with the first mailbox?
