                     11: SYNOPSIS
                     12:      netmail [ -l username ] [ -p password ] [ -c ] [ -q ] [ -n ]
                     13:      [ -f ] [ machine:username ]

                     15: DESCRIPTION
                     16:      Mail is checked and/or read on the specified _m_a_c_h_i_n_e. If the
                     17:      machine specification is omitted, the default machine is
                     18:      used.  The command has two distinct modes depending on
                     19:      whether the -c option is specified.
                     20: 
                     21:      If -c is specified, the presence of mail is checked on the
                     22:      remote machine.  No password is required so it can be put in
                     23:      C shell `.netrc' file.  A message is written or mailed back
                     24:      (see _n_e_t(1)) if there is or is not any unread mail.
                     25: 
                     26:      If the -c option is not specified, mail is read and mailed
                     27:      back to the user. A password is required.  Mail is also
                     28:      appended to the remote file `_m_b_o_x' as a precaution.
                     29: 
                     30:      The -q option suppresses the message sent back if there is
                     31:      no mail.  The options -l, -p, -f, and -n behave exactly as
                     32:      in _n_e_t(1).  (The login name can be specified either with the
                     33:      -l option or by `machine:username'.)
                     34: 
                     35:      _N_e_t_m_a_i_l executes the _n_e_t(1) command.
                     36: 
                     37:      Examples:
                     38: 
                     39:         netmail -c X:uname        checks if there is mail for
                     40:                                   `uname' on the X machine, no
                     41:                                   password required.
                     42: 
                     43:         netmail X:uname           reads mail for `uname' on the
                     44:                                   X machine, mails it back,
                     45:                                   password is required.
