The
.PN mailquery 
command queries a POP server for information about how much mail a user
has.  The program will exit with status = 0 if there is mail, and with
status = 1 if there is no mail.  The -v flag can be used to get a more 
verbose report.  The -d flag can be used to turn on debugging output
in the pop library code.  The pop server can be specified either by
setting the environment variable MAILHOST, or on the command line.
If no user is specified, user is set to the person who ran the program.
