tkbiff Description

tkbiff is yet another program to report new mail that has as its claim to fame a high degree of configurability. You can configure it to display messages, show pictures, play sounds, or order pizza. Everything associated with the user interface can be changed - colors, key bindings, this message, everything! The configuration is usually stored in C:/Users/YourUser/tkbiff.cfg. The reminder of this message describes the default configuration. The default configuration is intended to allow very fast message browsing while taking very little screen real estate. tkbiff comes with a very pleasant default configuration. The default configuration is aimed at three things: ■ Speed and Convenience tkbiff lets you browse mail with a single mouse click - particularly convenient if you normally use heavy-duty mail readers (such as Outlook Express, Messenger, and Emacs VM) which can be slow and in states where it is inconvenient to rearrange window configurations just to peek to see if a mail message is worth spending more time looking at. ■ Feedback and Flexibility Playing a sound is traditional - providing a fast way of finding out who mail is from without having to shuffle through windows or look at the screen in the first place. But tkbiff can do other things on receipt of a message: pop it up automatically, display the sender's icon, or even order pizza. tkbiff can also decide what to do based on the sender, whether you were listed in the To: line (versus Cc:), or how many times the word "pizza" was mentioned (and if it was cheese or pepperoni). ■ Minimal screen real-estate tkbiff avoids unnecessary frills such as mailbox icons or postage stamp icons or borders inside of borders inside of borders. All you see is your mail and in a clear, obvious, and accessible way. Of course, if you really want glorious 3d highlights, huge fonts, lots of borders, animations, etc., tkbiff can provide that too.
