.SH Options
.IP \-help 10
Prints a list of the valid options for this command.
.\"
.\"
.IP \-date 10
.PD 0
.IP \-nodate 10
.PD
Prints the date when you last read your mail.
This is the default behavior of 
.PN msgchk .
The
.B \-nodate
option can be used of you do not want to print this date.
.\"
.\"
.IP \-notify "\fIall|mail|nomail" 10
.PD 0
.IP \-nonotify "\fIall|mail|nomail" 10
.PD
Indicates under what circumstances 
.PN msgchk
should produce a message.
There are three legal values:
\fBall\fR, \fBmail\fR, and \fBnomail\fR.
The default is \fB\-notify all\fR, which reports the status 
of the maildrop regardless of whether it has mail in it or not.  
The 
.B \-notify\ mail
option reports the status of the maildrop 
only if there is mail waiting.
The 
.B \-notify\ nomail
option reports the status of the maildrop
only if there is no mail in it.

.ig
.IP \-rpop 10
.PD 0
.IP \-norpop 10
.PD
Indicates whether incoming mail should be carried over
a trusted or non-trusted link.
If you use the
.B \-source\ x400
option, the incoming X.400 mail
can be carried over a trusted or a non-trusted link.
In the non-trusted case, the mail system prompts
you to supply a password.
You can specify a trusted link by using the
.B \-rpop
option, or a non-trusted link by using \fB\-norpop\fR.
.\"
.\"
.\"
.IP \-source\ \fIsourcename
Specifies which sources 
.PN msgchk
should check for incoming mail.
The option recognizes two arguments:
.B \-source\ file
checks the maildrop; and
.B \-source\ x400
checks for incoming mail sent over the X.400 transport system.
You can specify one or both of these options with the same command.
In this case,
.PN msgchk
will display a separate message for each option.
If you do not specify a
.B \-source
option,
.PN msgchk
will check all known sources.
So 
.PN msgchk
notifies you of all incoming mail,
whatever source it comes from.

.IP "\-source file"
Specifies the source which are checked for mail.
The only value allowed is \fBfile\fR,
which is the user's maildrop.
Additional values are supported only for use with other
mail systems.

.SH Restrictions
.PN msgchk
does not understand the \f(CW$MAILDROP\fR
environmental variable.
If mail is fetched from a location other than 
.PN /usr/spool/mail/$USER ,
.PN msgchk
will not be able to determine if new mail has arrived.
However, 
.PN inc
can still be used to fetch mail when it arrives.
.\" 
.\" This restriction applies only to the standard maildrop,
.\" not to the X.400 maildrop.
.\"
.PP
For this version, the
.B \-source
option only supports the value \fBfile\fR.
Additional values are supported for use only with
other mail systems.

The next example shows a user checking the maildrops of two other
local users on the same system, \f(CWRabb\fR and \f(CWJones\fR:
