Description Geoffrey Leach 2003-05-05 17:11:43 UTC 
The default sound for "New mail" may be considered cute, but I'm soure that
some will consider it inappropriate.  My dog is among them.  More
importantly, there appears to be no way to (a) turn it off or (b) specify
an alternate .wav.  Either would be appreciated.

Agree 100%. Suggestions (wav files) are welcome.

Sort of cricket-like.  Very nice.

Commited id=30340. I guess it resolves the problem.
