Announce: GBuffy 0.1 - Multiple Mailbox Biff



I'm pleased to announce the first ALPHA release of GBuffy, a GTK+
rewrite of the venerable XBuffy program.  See
http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy/ for more information.

Suggestions, bug reports and code are accepted at blong@fiction.net

>From the README:
   GBuffy will poll multiple mailboxes for new mail. It will list the
   number of new messages in each mailbox you configure. It will also
   highlight the mailboxes which have new mail. Pressing the left mouse
   button on a mailbox with new mail will display the Sender and Subject
   of each new message. Additionally, GBuffy will display the X-Face
   header for messages which have them. Pressing the middle mouse button
   on a mailbox will launch the configured command, generally a command
   to read the mailbox with your favorite mailreader. Pressing the right
   mouse button will bring up the configure menu.
   
   GBuffy is currently capable of watching MBOX, MMDF, Maildir and MH
   Folders. Support for IMAP and NNTP folders, as well as an external
   program for notification are planned.
   
   The main advantages of GBuffy over XBuffy are:
     * Uses the GTK+ Toolkit
     * Supports the X-Face: header
     * Easy User Configuration
     * Configuration data stored using GNUStep libPropList
     * RFC2047 decoding of headers (that's non US-ASCII character set
       support)
     * Support for Maildir and MH mailboxes
