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. Dave Benjamin dbjag@aolnorth.com
