-# written 1998-11-xx by Moritz Barsnick <barsnick (at) gmx (dot) net>
-# updated 1998-12-22: added "-m" option for grepmail
-# added "exit 1" to trap
-# updated 1999-01-04: added check for empty "mailbox" (don't open mutt)
-# added messages
-# added umask (to keep others from reading your messages)
