+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B msgchk
+program checks all known mail drops for mail waiting
+for you.  For those drops which have mail for you,
+.B msgchk
+will
+indicate if it believes that you have seen the mail in question before.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-notify
+.I type
+switch indicates under what circumstances
+.B msgchk
+should produce a message.  The default is
+.B \-notify
+.I all
+which says that
+.B msgchk
+should always report the status of the
+users maildrop.  Other values for `type' include `mail' which says that
+.B msgchk
+should report the status of waiting mail; and, `nomail'
+which says that
+.B msgchk
+should report the status of empty maildrops.
+The
+.B \-nonotify
+.I type
+switch has the inverted sense, so
+.B \-nonotify
+.I all
+directs
+.B msgchk
+to never report the status of
+maildrops.  This is useful if the user wishes to check
+.BR msgchk 's
+exit status.  A non\-zero exit status indicates that mail was
+.B not
+waiting for at least one of the indicated users.
+.PP
+If
+.B msgchk
+produces output, then the
+.B \-date
+switch directs
+.B msgchk
+to print out the last date mail was read, if this can
+be determined.
