SYNOPSIS

  WMMail.app is a "mail-checker" like xbiff. It is modeled after asmail,
  but has been adapted to work with Window Maker instead of AfterStep.

  WMMail.app should be considered alpha software that contains a million
  bugs. It should not cause a lot of harm to your system, but if it
  does, fix it and send me a patch.

  See doc/Help.txt for more information on how to use WMMail.app, how to
  edit its defaults domain (i.e. configuration file), etc.

  Be sure to read NEWS for more news.



KNOWN BUGS

  1. The man page (doc/wmmail.man) is obsolete. Do not even bother reading
     it.

  2. ExecuteOnNewOnce (previously AlwaysNewMailExecute) is still broken.

  3. With some weird, old combination of OS and X Window, e.g. Solaris
     with X11R5, SunOS with OpenWindows, etc., the WMMail application
     icon may not show up when the program is run. If this is the case
     for you, add the following line to your 
     ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes:

       WMMail = { EmulateAppIcon = Yes; };
     


TODO

  1. Implement GUI-based configuration, a la WPrefs of Window Maker.

  2. Write proper documentation!

  3. Rip menu code from Window Maker and make WMMail draw its own pop-up
     menus.

  4. Add XBuffy-like features.

  5. Minimize code bloat by moving more from the core into the optional
     mailbox format-specific modules

  6. More object orientation, plug-ins, etc.
