1 Xlbiff lets you preview new mail to decide if you want to read it
2 immediately. Regular xbiff lets you know when you have mail but not what
5 Xlbiff lurks in the background, monitoring your mailbox file. When
6 something shows up there, it invokes the scanCommand (MH's scan by
7 default), and displays the output in a window. If more mail comes in, it
8 scans again and resizes accordingly.
10 If you're a Berkeley mail person, you can set scanCommand to:
12 echo x | mail | grep "^.[NU]"
14 Or use the ``frm'' utility that is part of the Elm port as your
15 scanCommand. A simular utility is the ``fromwho'' package, posted to
16 comp.sources.unix volume 25.
