- MailCall 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. It also indicates which messages are
- in NeXTmail formats (MailCall does not know about MIME formatted
- messages). There are a few preferences to modify the behavior of
- MailCall.
-
- The file MailCall_2.9.2.tar.Z is only for those users who are still
- running NeXTSTEP release 2.x. It will work on later versions of
- NeXTSTEP for NeXT hardware, but if you're running NeXTSTEP 3.0 or
- later then you'll probably want an application called CheckMail
- (which is currently at version 3.0). Note that a lot has changed
- between MailCall 2.9.2 and CheckMail 3.0. Among other things,
- CheckMail can recognized MIME-formatted messages.
-
- CheckMail is really just a newer version of 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.
