[Spambayes] New mail icon.

Hello,

 

            I did a quick search on the spambayes mailing list and saw
this had been brought up and rejected – so I’ll be brief.

 

            I like the new mail icon in the tray that Outlook creates.
It has always worked (fairly) well for me so I *do* use it. I work from
home – so having my computer notify me when I have new mail is a nicety
– false positives from mail marked as spam invalidates the notification
(obviously). If this is going to be the case – I might as well close
Outlook after every session. As I would like to be faster on my email
responses this is not realistic – but neither is running to my computer
every time I get some spam (much of the time I am too far to see the
icon – but the audio notification is still useful). 

 

Since I am not the first person to bring this up (indeed, the previous
person even made some code for a patch) I suspect there are more users
that have the same issue. Thus I felt I should speak up.

 

            Thank you for a top notch app. I’ll keep using spambayes and
if I have to - I’ll figure out how to monkey some vb into outlook to fix
the icon,  so I guess I’m just trying to save myself some work :-) If I
was handy with Python I’d try my hand at contributing – but alas, I know
nothing.

P.S.

This might have been more appropriate in the mailing list but I didn’t
want to subscribe just to give this one suggestion. Sorry.
