This program was written by Philippe 'BooK' Bruhat as an example of use for Log::Procmail. It mimics mailstat(1) as much as possible. The original mailstat(1) was created by S.R. van den Berg, The Netherlands. The original manual page was written by Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others).
