[comp.sys.amiga] Small front-end to 'Mail' for Amiga UUCP

bryan@chroma.UUCP (Bryan Ford) (06/09/89)

I thought somebody might like this little script.  It was originally
written by a friend of mine as a complete 'Mail' replacement - I just
turned it into a front-end for the normal 'Mail' program using ConMan's
Queue command.  (You have to be using ConMan for this to work.)

The only things that should need changing are a few places in the 'read
your own mail' part, which are clearly marked.  I have also included a
sample .mailrc file, so you can just add your own addresses.

If "{recipient}" EQ ""
  Echo "Read own mail."
  If EXISTS UUCP:mail/bryan	; Replace Bryan with your username (3 places)
    Ed UUCP:mail/bryan		; Replace Ed with your favorite editor
  Else
    Echo "No mail for Bryan."
  EndIf
  Skip out

    Ask "No alias for {recipient} - Do you want to continue?"
