I wrote something like this for the mac a long time ago (it was posted
ages ago also). It used CAP 4.0 and scanned the mail spool directory.
It's called "mailflag".

It uses a simple atp protocol to send the first few lines of the the
mail and pops a dialog box up on your screen - it has command line
version which sends messages to people in the same way.

I can't support it, but will send out the shars if you want to try it.
I had planned to bring it up under lightspeed C and CAP 5.0, but have
had no time.

it also supports an version of "macput" which is 2-3 times faster than
a 9600 baud serial link... (this was way before I even conceived of
the GatorBox ;-)
