However, the latest +version includes support for sound effects and animation. The default +functionality employs two images for the "mail in mailbox" and "no mail" +states, in the form of XPM type 3 files. The default images are, respectively, +that of an empty mailbox with its flag down, and that of an open mailbox, +with its flag up and a letter visible inside. Animation can be enabled for +playing up to 8 XPM files in repeated sequence. + +The application can also, optionally, play a sound through a workstation's +audio device, instead of generating the default beep sound, whenever new +mail arrives. + +By default, pressing any mouse button in the image forces xmailbox to +remember the current size of the mail file as being the "empty" size and +to change its image accordingly. In addition to this, the user can +optionally have xmailbox invoke his/her favourite mail retrieving program. + +By Dimitrios P. Bouras (dbouras@hol.gr) and +William K. W.
