+[[load]] mail \\
+[[set]] mail_watch_time //<number>// \\
+mbox add //<filename>// \\
+mbox del //<filename>// \\
+mbox list
+======Description:======
+This script implements a mail checking facility.  Currently, it only monitors
+mboxes.  Unlike the built in mail checking facility, this script can monitor
+multiple independant mboxes.
+You can monitor an mbox with %%mbox add filename%% where %%filename%% is the
+name of the mbox mail drop.  The file must exist at the time (even if it is
+just a zero-byte file) you register it.  Attempts to add the same file
+multiple times is not an error, but you will be told it is already checked.
+You can unmonitor an mbox with %%mbox del filename%% where %%filename%% is a
+filename that you previously passed to %%mbox add%%.
+Every %%set mail_watch_time%% seconds, the script will check your mboxes,
+unless [[set mail]] is 0.  You will be notified each time an mbox's mtime
+("modification time") changes since the last check.
+When you load the script, it automatically starts monitoring all of the
+mboxes in your MAIL environment variable.
+You should probably [[set mail_interval]] 0 to turn off the client's
+built in mail checking facility if you use this script.
+======History:======
+This script was written by wd and first appeared in epic4-1.1.6.
