NAME
     gnubiff - a mail notification program supporting GTK+ and GNOME

SYNOPSIS
     gnubiff [options]

DESCRIPTION
     gnubiff is a mail notification program that checks for mail, displays head-
     ers  when	new  mail  has arrived and allow to read first lines of new mes-
     sages. It relies on the GNOME and GTK libraries but  can  be  compiled  and
     used  with  or  without  GNOME support. Supported protocols are pop3, apop,
     imap4, mh, qmail and mailfile.  Furthermore, gnubiff is fully  configurable
     with  a lot of options like polltime, poptime, sounds, mail reader, mailbox
     names, etc. and can also filter spam. Note  that  gnubiff	is  not  a  mail
     reader even if it offers the possibility of reading very first lines of new
     messages.	If  you  send  some  requests for specific features to be imple-
     mented, keep that in mind!
