I wrote a C program that does this for VT100 and TVI950 terminals,
which have status lines. You run the program on the unix host and it
keeps the status line updated. It gives you the date and time, and it
tells you when you get mail and who it is from.

It could probably be easily modified to handle other terminals with
programmable, independant status lines.
