Description Jan Fabry 2003-05-15 17:56:22 UTC 
It is not easy to show a non-animated image when a new mail has arrived. It
is impossible to show an animation when no mail has arrived. The speed of
the animation is not configurable, and the images have to be square.

If mailcheck would support MNG files, all these problems would be solved.
It would also be obvious that PNG images give no animation, while MNG
images do.

I learned C four months ago, so I don't think I'm the right person for
adding this functionality ;) Any other volunteers?

You would want to write a gdk-pixbuf MNG module (or maybe it already
exists?), so every application could access MNGs easily. Moving it to
gdk-pixbuf bugs.

I was thinking more about making this bug a dependency of #71267 , not
a duplicate. This bug is about including MNG support in the Inbox
Monitor (or mailcheck), and this depends on MNG support in gdk-pixbuf.
Other might search Bugzilla for 'mng support' and 'mailcheck', and not
find this bug.
Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2003-05-15 22:31:15 UTC 
if you add mng support to gdk-pixbuf, no mailcheck changes should 
be required, so there's no reason to have a bug open there.
(open bugs are intended to represent some pending developer task;
if there's no task, the bug should not be open)
