Yes, but that probably means that you have to have exmh
running on the laptop to get the notification?
With exmh getting upset by two instances running at the
same time, this creates the problem that I cannot  run to the
closest compter to check out the new mail.
But thanks for the hint, I might use that for some other

Does anyone here know if the Computational Recreations columns from
Scientific American in the 70's/80's were compiled into a book or two? I
think I remember Martin Gardner publishing the earlier Mathematical
Recreations in a couple of hard covers, but I'm unsure about the later
column. Help?
