- 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.
