Subject: automatic mail checking & notify
Date: 04 Oct 1996 11:25:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ug23uvjip.fsf@aolnorth.com> (raw)


Is there a way (or has someone coded a way) to have gnus automatically
check mail at set intervals, and perhaps beep (or call a program to 
play an annoying ice cream truck sound) when new mail is recieved?

This would be a great feature, as a frequent complaint of co-workers
using Eudora (on win32) is that it will play the notify sound on
receipt of *any* message.  More desirable would be to play a sound
only when certain groups get mail, such as personal mail.

Any help/pointers/ruminations appreciated.
