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

One way would be to create a .forward file on the mail host to send the mail on  
over to your NeXT. The NeXT Mail app icon then shows pages coming out of the  
envelope when mail has arrived.

	Doesn't Mail.app in NeXTApps have the functionality you're looking  
for?
