Subject: notify after automatic mail recieving

Message-ID: <llvqa6he.fsf@calmar.ws> (raw)
Hi,
based on a previous threat I stole this function:
,----
| (defun my-gnus-get-new-mail ()
| "Fetch new mails at level x only."
| (when (gnus-alive-p)
| (let ((gnus-verbose-backends 1)
| (gnus-verbose 1)
| (win (current-window-configuration)))
| (unwind-protect
| (save-window-excursion
| (save-excursion
| (set-buffer gnus-group-buffer)
| (gnus-group-get-new-news 4)))
| (set-window-configuration win)))))
`----
What I would like is when gnus can notify me when new mails
arrived.
p.e with a pop-up windows, or just an external program which
might play a nice sound or however.
Obviously, as far as I was able to
understand, gnus-group-get-new-news does not really have a return
value which I could exploit.
But obvioudly this function has a hook:
gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook
(I assume this is executed everytime after trying to get new
news, or only when there really came-in new news?)
So when there is a function which can check a group for new
news/mails, probably I should be able to write this hook myself.
Probably something like this:
(if (gnus-check-if-unread-messages-in-group)
(call-process "whatever"))
; or pop up (x)emacs own pop-up messagewindow/sound
Does anybody know the name of this ((fantasy-name):
`gnus-check-if-unread-messages-in-group') function if it exists?
Many Thanks
