# The mail/xlbiff port

## xlbiff-3.0p2 – display from/subject from incoming mails using X11

## Description

    Xlbiff lets you preview new mail to decide if you want to read it
    immediately.  Regular xbiff lets you know when you have mail but not what
    it is.

    Xlbiff lurks in the background, monitoring your mailbox file.  When
    something shows up there, it invokes the scanCommand (MH's scan by
    default), and displays the output in a window.  If more mail comes in, it
    scans again and resizes accordingly.

    If you're a Berkeley mail person, you can set scanCommand to:

    	echo x | mail | grep "^.[NU]"

    Or use the ``frm'' utility that is part of the Elm port as your
    scanCommand.  A similar utility is the ``fromwho'' package, posted to
    comp.sources.unix volume 25.
