- CheckMail is a simple NeXTSTEP application to check the spool file
- for incoming mail. It puts up a window listing the "From" and
- "Subject" lines of any messages it finds, and will play a sound
- when a new message arrives. In the window it puts up, it also
- indicates which messages are in NeXTmail or MIME formats. There
- are a few preferences to modify the behavior of CheckMail.
-
- CheckMail used to be called MailCall. The name was changed because
- some application launchers seem to get confused and will use the
- icon for Mail.app when displaying MailCall The original MailCall
- application was written by Dennis Smyers. He released version 2.1
- in 1992. I've made some bug fixes and added several new features
- since then.
-
- The file MailCall_2.9.2.tar.Z is only for those users who are still
- running NeXTSTEP release 2.x. CheckMail version 3.0 (and later)
- requires that you're running NeXTSTEP 3.0 (or later). Note that
- a lot has changed between MailCall 2.9.2 and CheckMail 3.0. This
- last version of MailCall doesn't recognize MIME formatted messages,
- for example.
-
- CheckMail has been compiled for all four NeXTSTEP architectures.
- You can either pick up the file for a single architecture, or you
- can get a MAB file that has all four. For now I'm not making the
- source available, but I might change my mind on that in the future.
