Ok, you guys will know. Under a bash shell, you get "You have new mail" notifications, which are very nice. But is there a way to change it to say "You have new mail from XXX, subject YYY". Having to stop work, flip over to a mail application, and check for importance, is a pain. There must be a way. C'mon Unix people.

Danny's right: over time, it all comes back to the shell.
