My understanding is similar, but not certain. I understood that mail-notification was using a hack that required it to use low-level evolution function calls instead of the dbus-notification layer. And that was because the dbus-notification layer either did not exist or was not working. Now that it *is* working, is mail-notification going to use the dbus-notification layer (which would solve the need for endless version-specific patches)? But that is not a question really for this list, but to the mail-notification developers, to whom I have already asked the same question. Does anyone have any other program that does the same function? That's really what I want to know from this list. Scott __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
