I personally use the builtin mail notification in gkrellm. If you already use gkrellm, or think you might want to, you should know that it doesn't interfere with mutt, can optionally launch getmail/fetchmail before it does its count, has animation/sound/external command on new mail support and all other kinds of goodies. You might find that it meets your requirements. -- /* * Bob Phan <[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Computational Chemistry Informatics * Neurogen Corporation * (203)488-8201 x4645 * * To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. */
