[comp.sys.apollo] mail messages

Does anyone know why apollo csh will not tell you whether you have mail
waiting when you login from the monitor?  Also if someone knows how to 
get  mail notification immediatly of the mail completion sent to your
terminal, please send a e-mail to me.

Thanks.

This is because the program /bin/login is responsible for the "You have
Mail" message, not /bin/csh.  If you telnet or rlogin into an apollo, it
does the right thing.

I think there's a program in Scott Turner's "Rapshody Archive" that does
this...
