does anyone know of a command-line version of some biff or buffy or
whatever (mail notification program)?  i just wrote a little shell
script to do it, that uses the xbuffy boxfile, but i was wondering if
there were packages out there for that purpose.

i want this because often i'm logged in from some place i can't
X-forward to, and i want to see how many new messages i have in what
mailbox without opening all of them up.

if this doesn't exist, would my script be worth asking someone to
package up?

curious,
