It was pointed out to me that the procedure FILE_MAIL references a 
command procedure that it SPAWNs which was not included in the distribution.

The command procedure referenced, CHECK_MSGS.COM contains only the following
two lines:

	$MAIL
	Exit
T
The output from this command is put into a file called TEMP.DAT.  If you
have mail messages, the file contains the string "You have xx new messages",
otherwise it's empty.  This is used to determine whether to run READMAIL
to process anything or to merely exit.

The mailer has been real flaky on my end, so I sent out multiple sources.
The original READMAIL.COM was missing a DCL subroutine block so I sent
out a corrected version.  This was the only fix I made, so if you're seeing
multiple msgs containing READMAIL, the correct version is the one with
the cuss-word (sorry, I forgot to clean it up) label "S--T_CAN:".

If anyone wants to re-write the routines, I'd welcome any modifications.
