Description srm 2000-04-20 01:20:01 UTC 
	/usr/bin/from modified to allow the polling of multiple mailboxes
	via the MAIL environment variable with the following syntax:
		<mailbox1>:<mailbox2>:<mailbox3>:<...>:<mailboxN>	

	Default behavior remains intact to poll <MAIL_PATH>/<USERNAME>

How-To-Repeat: 
	N/A
Comment 1 Alexander Best 2009-11-07 02:11:45 UTC 
this patch still looks like a useful addition to the `from' command. what's
missing in order to fully support multiple mailboxes however is

1. support for `from -f file1 file2 ... fileN'
2. support for `from [user1] [user2] ... [userN]'

taking the long time this change request has been around into account and the
fact that zero replies were made, this pr should be set into suspended state.

cheers.

State Changed
From-To: open->suspended

Recent review indicates that this is still a problem.  Mark it 'suspended' 
since it has languished for so long.

Looks like due to GNATS/BZ converter's confusion of the suspended state PR somehow got to "In Progress" state. Closing to match the history of transitions
