Does anyone have a version of comsat that will use a small window for
notification?  I have xbif that uses the mailbox icon.  What I am
looking for is a more informative comsat/biff combo that would print
... well, comsat stuff in another window.  I don't find one in the
X10R[34] distributions.

If there is no such thing, are there reasons why there shouldn't be?
(Before I go and write it.)  (Oh, and I know you can fake it by
opening up a small xterm window, doing a biff y, and leaving it
there... not quite what I'd like.)
