+DockApp e-mail notification program for POP3 and IMAP4 servers
+
+wmnotify is a DockApp application, running under WindowMaker, to periodically check
+a POP3 or IMAP4 email account for new messages. It also supports SSL encryption.
+
+When new messages are detected, the mailbox image is animated to give a visual
+indication that new mail has arrived. Additionnally, if desired, a sound can be
+produced from a WAV or AU audio file, or from the console bell.For simplicity reasons,
+wmnotify doesn't support multiple POP3 accounts.
+
+But by starting a new instance of wmnotify and specifying an alternate configuration
+file on the command line, you can effectively check multiple POP3 accounts.
+
+NOTE: There's a PATCH inside the package to replace the non-stop animation
+ to a static image for incomming e-mails. Just edit the building script
+ and set the "PATCH" variable to "yes" or pass a parameter to the build script
+ PATCH=yes ./wmnotify.SlackBuild
