rcvtty - report new mail with nmh

       Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.

nmh-1.8                                            1999-04-30                                        RCVTTY(1mh)

       None

       `-width' defaults to the width of the terminal
       `-newline'
       `-bell'

       The  rcvtty  command  can  be  used  to  report  new mail.  It is used primarily in conjunction with mail
       filtering agents such as slocal or procmail.

       rcvtty executes the named command with the message as its standard input, and writes the resulting output
       on your terminal.

       Alternatively, if no command is specified (or the command is bogus), then rcvtty  will  instead  write  a
       one-line  scan listing.  The default output format of this scan listing may be overridden by using either
       the -formformatfile or -formatstring option, similar to the equivalent options for scan and  inc.   See
       mh-format(5) for details.

       A  newline  is  output  before  the  message output, and the terminal bell is rung after the output.  The
       -nonewline and -nobell switches will inhibit these functions.

       The switch -widthcolumns may be given to specify the width of the scan line.  The default is to use  the
       width of the terminal.

       In  addition  to  the  standard  format  escapes  described  in  mh-format(5), rcvtty also recognizes the
       following additional component escapes:

            Escape    Returns  Description
            body      string   the (compressed) first part of the body
            dtimenow  date     the current date
            folder    string   the name of the current folder

       By default, rcvtty will send its output to every terminal on the local machine that is owned  by  current
       user,  and  that  has  given  write permission as granted by the command mesg(1).  If the option -biff is
       given, then rcvtty will obey the notification status set by the command biff(1) instead.
