What is XFaces?
|
|
|
|
XFaces is a program that will display an image for each
|
|
piece of mail in your mail box. This lets you know at a
|
|
glance who you have mail from. XFaces starts out (when you
|
|
have no mail) looking like a color xbiff. As you receive
|
|
mail XFaces becomes a column of mail images. Some of XFaces
|
|
features:
|
|
|
|
- Both mono and color images.
|
|
|
|
- Optional Shaped window support with both xpm and xbm.
|
|
|
|
- Sound support using the NetAudio protocol. The NetAudio server
|
|
currently supports Sun's SparcStation (SunOS 4.1.X and Solaris 2.2),
|
|
SGI's Indigo and NCD MCX X terminals running NCDware 3.1 or later.
|
|
|
|
- Face images can be "compressed" so that each image will only
|
|
show up once on your display. This way, if you receive 30 messages
|
|
from one user, list or whatever the image will only show up once.
|
|
|
|
- You can use regular expressions to search any headers to choose
|
|
images and sounds or ignore that mail message compleatly. This
|
|
lets you specify an image/sound for mail that comes from a
|
|
mailing list or ignore mail that you have already seen but
|
|
left in your system mailbox.
|
|
|
|
- Compatibility support for Rich Burridge's faces program. This
|
|
includes the ability to run user command to generate the image
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
- Support for POP mailboxes.
|
|
|
|
- XFaces can kick off shell commands based upon mailbox
|
|
contents. You could have yourself paged when a high priorty
|
|
item needs your attention.
|
|
|
|
- XFaces can run external filters to convert images into Xpm
|
|
so that image formats that XFaces does not understand can
|
|
be used.
|
|
|
|
- The annotations for mail items include username, hostname,
|
|
count, user@host, the contents of any header.
