Instead of saying: MAIL If this parameter is set and mailpath is not set, the shell looks for mail in the specified file. I think it would be more explicit if it said: MAIL If this parameter is set, the shell looks for mail in the specified file. But if mailpath is set, the shell will look in the file specified by mailpath. mailpath overrides MAIL. > Secondly, Bart mentioned that multiple Maildir spools don't work > properly (yet). A single Maildir spool does. (You may have already seen my question to him about that.) Actually, I saw your message before I saw Bart's. I was looking here (in zsh-users) for a response, and, although Bart sent his response to me directly, it managed to go into a mailbox other than my inbox. Also, he appears to have cc:'d it to zsh-workers, but not zsh-users: > From: Bart Schaefer > Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2001 17:11:12 +0000 > Subject: Re: New mail notification not working > To: Russell Hoover > Cc: zsh-workers@sunsite.dk > X-Mailer: Z-Mail (5.0.0 30July97) > Comments: In reply to Russell Hoover > "Re: New mail notification not working" (Sep 7, 11:52am) (No big deal.

That's good news, but I'm stuck on something -- still not getting either a defined (as per in your mailpath setting) or a default notification message with: export MAIL=$HOME/.mailspool/rj OR with: mailpath=($HOME/.mailspool/rj'?New mail has arrived.') though it seems as though I should be . . . -- // rj@panix.com //
