mail notification
Hi all!
I am using woody; have exim and fetchmail and Pine for mail, though
considering a change to mutt. Can't use Xwindows or graphical systems
because I am blind.
I want to know whether there is a way I can set up my machine so that it
will beep when I get new mail into /var/mail, but without displaying the
actual mail messages at the time. Of course, if I have Pine open, I do get
a beep when mail comes in and a brief notification of what the new mail
is, but I'd like to know when new mail comes into my system so I can then
go into my mail program.
I am running fetchmail just as a user and not as a system-wide
configuration.
Thanks.
