** NMAIL.EXE version 1.21 **


Pegasus Mail [ (c) David Harris ] is an excellent mail system
for Novell NetWare. It provides great flexibility and tight
integration with Netware which makes it a number one choice in my
opinion.

NMAIL is a small utility that can replace the original NEWMAIL program
that is included with Pegasus Mail and will give you more freedom
as to the format you want newmail information displayed.

NMAIL can be run from the SYSTEM LOGIN SCRIPT which is mainly where
you would use the many switches to customize the output of NMAIL.
This includes both running NMAIL using the #NMAIL way, or activating it
using a batchfile and the EXIT statement.

NMAIL can also be used at the dos prompt to see from whom you received
mail and what the subject of their message is. You can then decide if you
want to run PMAIL to read your message or wait until a later stage.

It is a bit difficult / cumbersome to remember all the switches if you run
it from DOS - so make yourself a batchfile or be satisfied with the
default configuration. The whole point of using NMAIL is that because it is
so fast, you need not start PMAIL for every message you receive. Spending
time typing switches could better be used to start PMAIL and read your
mail.


Usage is as follow :

NMAIL will parse newmail information in the Pegasus style, it
supports MHS headers, and it is supposed to work in a multi server
environment reading newmail information from all attached servers.

NMAIL is totally free (not share-ware, no restrictions).
