Description-en: X Literate Biff. Displays From and Subject lines of your new mail
Xlbiff lurks in the background, monitoring your mailbox file (normally
/var/spool/mail/). When something shows up there, it
invokes the MH scan(1) command and displays the output in a window.
If more mail comes in, it scans again and resizes accordingly.
.
Clicking the left mouse button anywhere in the window causes it to
vanish. It will also vanish if you inc(1) and the mailbox becomes
empty. Xlbiff is modeled after xconsole -- its job is to sit invisibly
and pop up only when something demands your attention.
