howto send message open xterm

["Brian J. Stults" <bs7452@csc.albany.edu>]

Can someone tell me how to send a message to any open xterm?  When I
used to receive my email from a Novell server, a broadcast message would
print to any open xterm when I received mail.  Now I would like to add
that function to my simple bash script local mail checker.  Can someone
suggest a simple way to do this (e.g. echo "New mail arrived" `date` >
???")?  

Thanks.
