Hi All,

Is there a NeXT program like xbiff?  Basically, something that 
can run on the NeXT that my mail comes in on, but display an
icon on my machine that will notify me of incoming mail.  Right
now, I have a window open on the mail host and run "biff y" in 
that window...I would really like something a bit more NeXTish.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks,
Emmett
