> When supplying multiple mailbox files to 'frm', the summary is cummulative, 
> rather than being reset for each file, e.g.:
>
>         $ frm -qS /var/mail/bruce
>         Folder contains 1 new message, 4 unread messages, 72 read messages.
>                         ^

>         $ frm -qS /var/mail/bruce /var/mail/bruce
>         /var/mail/bruce:
>         Folder contains 1 new message, 4 unread messages, 72 read messages.
>         /var/mail/bruce:
>         Folder contains 2 new messages, 8 unread messages, 144 read messages.
>                         ^

> Of course, normally you would two different file names.  This behavior is not
