I know this was posted a while back, but for the benefit of those who
don't know about it, here it is again. I also made a *FEW* changes to
the program so that it will only call (exec) your mailer ONCE, if it
is already running. If it is already running, as suggested by Todd Day,
I should just select that window. Well that's what I did. It prevents
those obnoxious messages from elm, saying that a temporary lock file is
out there (when you have <MSG> key bouncing )... blah, blah, blah ...

# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you
# will see the following message at the end:
# "End of shell archive."

X** Program name: email.c (Security fix and exec favorate mailer) **
X** Programmer: Lenny Tropiano **
X** E-Mail address: ...!icus!lenny -or- lenny at icus.islp.ny.us **
X** Organization: ICUS Software Systems (c)1987,1989 **
X** Date: December 4, 1987 **
X** Revision: October 24, 1989 **
X** **
X**************************************************************************
X** **
X** Program use: If the program is placed in the /usr/bin directory **
X** /etc/smgr (Status Manager) will find this first, and **
X** will try to exec it when the <MSG> button is pressed **
X** and the <Mail ICON> is visible. **
X** **
X** This program will allow you to run your favorite **
X** mailer (mine is elm, but substitute yours in the **
X** appropriate spots in the Makefile). If for some **
X** your mailer cannot be exec'd, it will default to **
X** /bin/mail. **
X** **
X** As per a suggestion on the net, by Todd Day **
X** (todd at ivucsb.sba.ca.us <Todd Day>), Message-ID: **
X** <1989Oct22.000322.1187 at ivucsb.sba.ca.us>, he requested **
X** that subsequent pressing of the <MSG> key doesn't **
X** re-exec another copy of your mailer, but if it is **
X** already running, find that window and select it. **
X** I thought this was a good idea, implemented it, and **
X** here you go! **
X** **
X** Disclaimer: If you are running the AT&T Electronic Mail package **
X** do not install this program, it will overwrite the **
X** package (which is called /usr/bin/email). **

X** any modifications or enhancements to this program. **
