Email Message Board

[issuetracker]

Does anyone know how to create a email message board? A master screen displayed on a monitor that would list 25-40 employees names on the screen and list if they had new messages.

This would do it:

while true; do for user in `ls /var/spool/mail/`; do if (finger $user | grep -q "New mail"); then echo $user." has new mail"; fi; done; sleep 30; clear; done

providing there is no odd stuff in your mail spool dir...

Not sure how "pretty" a thing you're after?
