Is -M the switch for the built-in mail reader?

This is lunacy, or profound ignorance. You're duplicating
functionality from about a half dozen other places in here,
perhaps most significantly the shell. The software tools
model gets its profound power from using simple tools
which do one thing well and can be combined in arbitrary
ways. Your... whatever... does lots of arbitrary things,
while not actually doing much of anything for the user.

If this is the "ultimate" echo, I fear for what "something
cool" might be. I don't think my health could take it.
