CHANGE LOG
----------
2-Jan-98
- Version 0.51
- Asmail is now under GPL version 2
- Added option NumOfMsgColor, used to set the color of the
"NumOfMsg-text".
- Added new animation to the pachage, another spinning e
- And some minor fixes
3-Nov-96
- Versin 0.50
- Added options NumOfMsgMode, NumOfMsgPosition and NumOfMsgFont,
with this options you can get asmail to display the number of
messages and/or new messages in the mailbox. This option can
not be used if you monitor more then one mailfile.
- Added option ExecuteOnUpdate, this option is useful if you
want to "pop" your mail from a mailserver. Asmail will execute
a specified program (i.e. popclient, get_mail, ...) just before
every update of the mailbox status.
- Added option for multiple mailboxes, thanks to
Christopher Seawood (cseawood@qualcomm.com)
- Some changes made to the Imakefile
- Added message.au, a nice little sample
26-Oct-96
- Version 0.41
- Added optino LockShape, use this option if all icons have the
same shape and size, this will save some CPU time if you are
using animations
- TimeStampMode modified, now hopfully works better, thanks to
Steve Martin (smartin@henge.com)
- Fixed "MailFile" bug
- Added two sample animations to the package
6-Oct-96
- Version 0.40
- Options are now set in a configuration file (~/.asmailrc) instead
of the command-line, with the exception of the default X options.
Read the man page for more info about the configuration file
- Xpm icons are now optional, through the config file
- Added support for animations. NOTE: If you want to save CPU time do not
use animations or use slow animationspeed. Using the option NoShape
also saves some CPU time on animations
- Added option "AlwaysNewMailExecute", "execute-when-new-mail-is-found"
will be invoked even if the current status is "New Mail". If this option
is removed it will only be invoked if the current status is "No Mail"
or "Old Mail"
- Added option "TimeStampMode", this option is useful if you are using
utilities like procmail. Asmail will change status from "No Mail" to
"New Mail" when the time-stamp of the last modification of the
mailfile is changed
- Asmail no longer shows an icon when iconified. Why? Well, asmail is
not often used iconified and removing the icon saves CPU time when
using animations.

- Version 0.34
- Added support for default X options on the command-line
(i.e. -display, -geometry, -title ...)
- Added option -beep, signal when new mail is found
