.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Newmail\^
is a daemon designed to run in background and every 60 seconds
check to see if there is any new mail for the user that
started it up.
.P
If there is new mail, the program will asynchronously write to
the terminal that it was started on a message of the form
.nf

   New mail from <name> - <subject>

.fi
where <name> is either the name of the person sending it,
if available (the ARPA 'From:' line) or machine!login where
machine is the machine the mail was sent from.  If there
is no subject, the message "<no subject>" will appear on
the screen.
.P
If the message is a \fIpriority\fR message (that is, it has a field
in the header "Priority:"), then the line will be "PRIORITY mail"
instead of "New mail".
.P
This program will run forever, and can internally reset 
itself if mail is deleted from the incoming mailbox while
trying to monitor it.
.P
If \fBnewmail\fR is started up with a filename, it will
perform exactly the same, but with the specified file as
the one to check rather than the default users mailbox.
