This is the fourth general release of a "faces" server for monitoring a
list visually. Typically this is a list of incoming mail messages.
Faces has three different modes of operation:
(a) The default will monitor for new mail. By default, only the last ten
messages are displayed.
(b) You can monitor the whole of a mail file. The open window will
automatically adjust it's size to correctly show the face icons.
(c) Custom monitoring. You can specify a program or shell script to run.
There are lots of good examples that have already been written and
these can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/picons/src/
Included with this release, is the ability to include a face image with
your mail message using an X-Face header line (plus continuation lines).
Faces expects this line to be in a certain compressed format, and
uncompresses it, and displays that image on-the-fly.
Audio capabilities are also provided as a conditional compilation option.
