I wasn't happy with the existing new mail notification scripts that I've found on emacswiki.
I've put together a new script, called "gnus-notify"[1], that can call any arbitrary program when new messages are received. The default uses the 'notify-send' program (part of libnotify's library) which creates little popup messages. This is especially useful if you have virtual desktops and leave Gnus running with gnus-demon. The result (showing Gnus + awesomewm + libnotify-bin on Debian) is shown here: http://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/hacks/gnus-notify.png You can also do arbitrary stuff by either setting a different executable, or supplying an entirely new notification function. Simply read the commentary in the source. gnus-notify.el is available at: http://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/hacks/gnus-notify.el Merry christmas :) [1] I know there's already a gnus-notify.el script, but I wasn't able to come up with a better name. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
