MailCall is a simple NeXTSTEP application to check the spool file
for incoming mail. It puts up a window listing the "From" and
"Subject" lines of any messages it finds, and will play a sound
when a new message arrives. It also indicates which messages are
in NeXTmail formats (MailCall does not know about MIME formatted
messages). There are a few preferences to modify the behavior of
MailCall.
The file MailCall_2.9.2.tar.Z is only for those users who are still
running NeXTSTEP release 2.x. It will work on later versions of
NeXTSTEP for NeXT hardware, but if you're running NeXTSTEP 3.0 or
later then you'll probably want an application called CheckMail
(which is currently at version 3.0). Note that a lot has changed
between MailCall 2.9.2 and CheckMail 3.0. Among other things,
CheckMail can recognized MIME-formatted messages.
CheckMail is really just a newer version of MailCall. The name
was changed because some application launchers seem to get confused
and will use the icon for Mail.app when displaying MailCall. The
original MailCall application was written by Dennis Smyers. He
released version 2.1 in 1992.
