[PLUG] multiple mail spools

[Mental <mental@neverlight.com>]

Here's the problem. I get a lot of mail. Fortunatly I use procmail
to sort it all. The only downside to it is I only get notified 
when mail arrives in my default mail spool. Recently I became irritated
enough to look up the solution. 

Now, when I get mail in any of the files I specify, I get a custom 
message. The solution was quite simple and can be found right 
there in the bash manpage. If your shell isnt bash, this will 
probably not work for you. Check your documentation. The fix is
as follows. Set your MAILPATH. Mailpath is a list of files 
followed by a message, separated by colons. Like this:

MAILPATH='/var/spool/mail/mental?"Mail for Mental!":~/mail/IN.plug?"Mail on the Plug list!"'
export MAILPATH

There's also a MAILCHECK setting that sets how many seconds apart to 
check the files. All in all, its pretty nice.  

I seem to remember someone here asking how to do something like this for 
mutt. Well, here's the answer.
