A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Simple New Mail Notification
Author(s) : R. Gellens
Filename : draft-gellens-notify-mail-02.txt

This memo documents a long-standing technique supported by a large
number of mail servers which allows users to be notified of new
mail. In addition to server support, there are a number of clients
which support this, ranging from full email clients to specialized
clients whose only purpose is to receive new mail notifications and
alert a mail client.
In brief, the technique is for the server to send the string
'nm_notifyuser' to the finger port on the IP address (either
configured or last used) for the user who has received new mail.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-gellens-notify-mail-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
