Hello:

I would like to add something to Waffle that would inform a user when
new mail has arrived.  I've got people who log in and use the system,
and if new mail arrives for them on the other node, they don't realize
it unless they specifically check for it (guess how many of them do).

It would be nice if after every command (FILES, RN, etc., heck, even
MAIL itself) that a small program would be executed that would cheque
the password file to see if the user has new mail, and then display
on the terminal: "Attention:  You have unread mail waiting in your
mailbox.  Type MAIL to attend to it." or something to that effect.  I
believe this could be hooked into Waffle by using the "/THEN" command
in all external programs.  I don't know if this is the best solution,
BTW.

I am running Waffle version 1.65 under MS-DOS, BTW.

Thanks in advance.
