I managed to find where you referenced that thread, but not the thread
itself:

<http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Languages-and-Scripting/Mailbox-read-with-timeout/m-p/3878712/highlight/true#M2830>

We're going back a long time though.  Here's what you posted in 2006:

Hi Bob,

I think you'll find and example of the silution you are looking for in the
code attached to: -

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1058548

There is a $setimr on the setmode wait_for_reader (I think?)

But what you're really after IMHO is unidirectional channels (examples in
same code) and the reader/writer check function modifiers when doing i/o.
That is, if there's no one there to read my message then return an error.

were you after the attached code you mention?
