Thank you for your interest. Note that if this patch is accepted, there
will need to be some changes to the documentation (mainly the
applet-howto), which I didn't do, especially regarding the special
status of the 'name' field, and using the set_name method to set it
(BTW, I thought that any applet should have PerlPanel::Applet as a base
class, but viewing some of them I discovered this isn't so. Is this
intentional?).
I've read a bit about maildir, and it seemed extremely easy to add
maildir support, so I did it. I attach the patch to Biff.pm. I didn't
test it at all. If someone uses maildir, I'll be happy to know if it
works.
Thanks,
Moshe

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
