PURPOSE

     Notifies the user of incoming messages.

SYNOPSIS
     rcvpack [cmd...]

     rcvpack -help


DESCRIPTION

     The rcvtty  command is  used to send  the user  a message
     when incoming  mail has arrived.  rcvtty  is not designed
     to be  run directly  by the  user; it  is designed  to be
     called by /usr/lib/mh/slocal.  The rcvtty command is part
     of the MH (Message Handling) package.

     The rcvtty command sends a  one-line scan listing to your
     terminal.  If you  give rcvtty a command  as an argument,
     rcvtty executes the command  with the incoming message as
     the command's standard input, and sends the output to the
     terminal.  For  rcvtty to write output  to your terminal,
     your terminal's write permission must be set as all.

     You can run rcvtty on all incoming messages by specifying
     the rcvtty command in the .maildelivery file.

FLAG
