Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package xlbiff, which is
part of the mail section, and maintained by Christoph Martin
<christoph.martin at uni-mainz.de>. 

This package contains : 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/<yourusername>).  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.
