: Right. Just with taildir or whatever else package was written for
: this... I'm sure there is a program out there. I can whip up a little
: perl proggie to do it as well.

: I was just saying, apparently not clearly enough, that I just wished
: that tail would do this *inherently*.
Get GNU tail.

DESCRIPTION
This documentation is no longer being maintained and may
be inaccurate or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is
now the authoritative source.
This manual page documents the GNU version of tail. tail
prints the last part (10 lines by default) of each given
file; it reads from standard input if no files are given
or when a filename of `-' is encountered. If more than
one file is given, it prints a header consisting of the
file's name enclosed in `==>' and `<==' before the output
for each file.
