Hi there - I'm new to mush but I'm very impressed with what I've seen
thus far.

I'd like to set up something in my .mushrc that behaves much like
vacation does, but what I want to do is to perform a command if
mail has arrived in my spool file from a particular user, and I
can't seem to do it with what I'm trying.  Can I pipe the output
fromo a "pick" to a variable, and then see if the variable is non-zero?
When I try such things, I get errors.

Any takers?
