--PAGE 1: FROM THE PUBLISHER SYSOP & EDITOR'S DESK---------

  It's late here in the imaginary offices of the HERALD.
  The rest of the staff retired hours ago, leaving me at
  my desk to put the finishing touches on this week's
  edition.

  We've got a couple of new features this week.  I'm
  especially excited about our new comics section (see
  page 3).

  Enjoy.  And, hey, get in touch.  We'll be debuting a
  letters-to-the-editor section next week.

--PAGE 5: SHELL COMMAND OF THE WEEK-------------------------

  Let's talk about sending mail.

  On squiggle.city, you can use full-featured mail clients
  like alpine or mutt, but there's more primitive option:
  mail(1).

  If you run this command interactively, it'll give you a
  simple CLI / menu for reading and writing mail.  It's sort
  of a terrible experience, although there's something
  a little charming about it.

  The thing I've always liked it for is that it will send
  STDIN right to someone's mailbox.

  Want to share the output of some command with another
  squiggle.city user?  Try something like the following:

      $ cowsay 'you hack' | mail brennen

  This works with much more than cows.
