DESCRIPTION

     sages waiting to  be received.  msgchk is part  of the MH
     (Message Handling) package and can  be used with other MH
     and AIX commands.

     The msgchk command checks all mail drops belonging to the
     specified user  IDs and reports which  mail drops contain
     messages that have not  been received.  msgchk also indi-
     cates whether it appears you have already seen these mes-
     sages.  If  you do  not specify  a user  argument, msgchk
     checks the current user's mail drops.
