Hi Erich,
I agree that it's best to remain low on debconf questions.
I here attach a patch as an implementation proposal.
The option appears in the main mail-notification preferences dialog.
Could you test it and tell me if you're statisfied with this proposal?
Argh... when I do stupid errors like that it means i need sleep.
Sorry for the spam... here's a proper patch.
The path to ~/.config/autostart/ was wrong.
I'll goto bed instead of doing other errors. ttyl.

Please tell me what you think about it.
thanks,

Hi Erich,
it seems i wasn't clear enough.
What i was proposing:
1) Ask the admin at postinst if he wants to globally autostart
mail-notification (/etc/xdg/autostart)
2) Ask upstream to add an option in mn-preferences to autostart on a
per user basis (~/.config/autostart)
It would no longer
Hi,
I could still add it globally on admin's demand postinstallation with debconf.
Would that be a good solution to you?
No, that doesn't really help much. Thats as good as saying if you don't
want mail-notification to be automatially started, don't install it...
I use mail-notification, but
Hi Pascal,
1) Ask the admin at postinst if he wants to globally autostart
mail-notification (/etc/xdg/autostart)
I think that is unnecessary once autostart is easy enough to enable.
People need to configure mail-notification anyway. You could
automatically enable mail-notification when the user

Hi,
When a user doesn't configure mail-notification, it will pop up on him
on every single login. Autostart should only happend when
mail-notification is configured, or it should offer an easy way of
disabling it (not having to
Hi Eric,
thank you for your suggestion.
I'll have a look at how to do this at configuration time with debconf.
Let me know if you have other suggestions.

Hi,
When
By rereading your email i now understand that you would like a
mecanism acting on a per user basis.
Then that belongs in ~/.config/autostart .
Having the option to switch autostart on/off within
mail-notification's configuration would be nicer.
Perhaps that bug should be forwarded upstream?
