Package: gnome-core
Version: 1.0.9
Severity: wishlist

Pine leaves pseuso messages in the mail spool file:

---------

xpc6:~> more /var/spool/mail/jss
From MAILER-DAEMON Wed Aug 25 10:21:13 1999
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 10:21:13 +0100 (BST)
From: Mail System Internal Data <MAILER-DAEMON@ast.cam.ac.uk>
Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
X-IMAP: 0918820416 0000002853
Status: RO

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message.  It is created automatically by the mail system software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.

---------

What would be the chances of programming the mail check programs to ignore
this message?

Also, can we have less annoying animations for the mail applets? Something
static like xbiff would be handy, as at the moment I can't ignore incoming
mail!

Thanks,

Jeremy.

Oops. mailcheck applet, despite appearances and name, lives in gnome-core,
not gnome-applets. Moving there.
