12 gnubiff is a mail notification program that checks for mail, displays
13 headers when new mail has arrived and allow to read first lines of new
14 messages. It relies on the GNOME and GTK libraries but can be compiled
15 and used with or without GNOME support. Supported protocols are pop3,
16 apop, imap4, mh, qmail and mailfile. Furthermore, gnubiff is fully
17 configurable with a lot of options like polltime, poptime, sounds, mail
18 reader, mailbox names, etc. and can also filter spam. Note that gnubiff
19 is not a mail reader even if it offers the possibility of reading very
20 first lines of new messages. If you send some requests for specific
21 features to be implemented, keep that in mind!
