Hi,

I have just released version 0.7 of KBiff.  I *strongly* recommend all
users of previous versions of KBiff to upgrade.

I am planning on doing a feature freeze on KBiff until after version 1.0.
So my request to all users is this: BEAT ON IT!  I want to squash all
possible bugs right now.

WHAT?
- -----
KBiff is a biff utility.  It is highly configurable but very easy to
use and setup.  It tries to combine the best (or at least *all*) of
the features of most of the other "biff" programs out there.

WHY?
- ----
... use it at all?

	KBiff has a number of advantages over the competition
	o Pure GUI configuration.  No command line paramters or strange config
	  files.  All settings for KBiff can be done from one setup dialog
	o Session management.  KBiff starts up with the same configuration you
	  left it with.
	o Panel docking.  KBiff can be docked into the panel very easily.  Handy
	  when you are monitoring several mailboxes and don't have the room
	  anywhere else.
	o System sounds.  KBiff can play a .wav file when new mail arrives
	o Animated gifs.  KBiff can handle GIF89 animated gifs
	o POP3 support.  KBiff can monitor a remote mailbox using the POP3
	  protocol as if it were a local mailbox
	o Highly configurable.  There are very few things in KBiff that you
	  have to accept.  Most things can be changed to fit your needs.

Changes since 0.5 (abbreviated)
- -------------------------------
o A web site!  http://www.pobox.com/~kurt_granroth/kbiff.html
o Animated gifs
o POP3 Support
o Ability to play a sound file when new mail arrives
o Ability to play a user defined command when new mail arrives
o User can turn off session managment if they so desire
o KBiff now has one command line parameter (-profile <profile>).  This
  allows users to put KBiff into the Autostart folder without having
  to deal with the setup dialog every time they start KDE.
o Fixed a bug where KBiff would go berserk if some cases when the
  mailbox was size 0 
o User can now rename a profile
o User can toggle playing system beep when new mail arrives
o User can specify whether KBiff should be docked automatically
  at a profile level
