+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Installation:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The Installation is as simple as it could be.  Just create the directory
+/usr/local/gotmail and copy all files to it. Ready.
+
+If you decide to choose an other directory to copy the files to, don't forget
+to change the path in the scripts.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Usage:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+GetMail starts with: getmail <option>
+
+options:
+ clear  - stops fetchmail and kills the logfile
+ fetch  - starts fetchmail
+ got    - starts gotmail
+ goth   - starts gotmail html
+ send   - sends all mail from the mailqueue
+ status - tails the logfile
+ start  - starts fetchmail and tails the logfile
+ stop   - stops fetchmail
+ -v     - prints GetMails version number
+
+GotMail can be startet without any parameters. It then prints a statistic
+on the console. The only parameters so far are:
+
+ html   - prints the output to an html file specified in gotmail.conf
+ -v     - prints GotMails version number
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Configuration
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+GotMail is configured by a file named gotmail.conf either in the user's home
+dir, in /etc or in /usr/local/gotmail. gotmail.conf itself is a shell script.
+It just exports some variables to the environment. So it's syntax is like this:
+
+ export <OPTION>=<VALUE>
+
+Remember not to put spaces between <OPTION>=<VALUE> !!
+You have the folllowing options:
+ 
+  GOTM_ERR	yes|no		print error messages?
+  GOTM_MSG	yes|no		print mail stats?
+  GOTM_TIM	yes|no		print start/stop stats?
+  GOTM_HED	yes|no		print a header?
+
+ Special HTML options:
+  GOTM_BGCOL	hex color	backgroundcolor
+  GOTM_TXCOL	hex color	textcolor
+  GOTM_ERRCOL	hex color	color of error messages
+  GOTM_TIMCOL	hex color	color of start/stop stats
+  GOTM_MSGCOL	hex color	color of mail stats
+  GOTM_HTMLFILE	filename	filename for html output
