I wrote a patch to implement this within mutt's normal mail notification routines. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06508.html If I were approaching this from scratch today, I would probably take a different approach. However I've been running this patch for nearly a year without problems; it does work. It depends on an external library, cGrowl, referenced in the mutt-dev post above. cGrowl implements the growl UDP protocol (port 9887) used by MacOS. The more formalized protocol used by Growl for Windows and targetted by MacOS Growl is not supported. -- David Champion • [email protected] • IT Services • University of Chicago
