I figured out the problem, and provided a patch to the author (using
the mailto link on the FVWM-95 home page). However, the email bounced
and I figured that since this mailing list isn't really about fvwm95,
I didn't post it here.
Quick answer: Set your MAIL environment variable to the mailbox you
want it to check. The '*FvwmTaskBarMailBox' parameter is NOT
correctly parsed due to a problem in the code. If you'd prefer,
send email to me and I'll send you the patch.
This is my only comment on this mailing list about fvwm95 and its task
bar module. I apologize to everybody else in this group in advance
about the slight stray from the main topic. (Keep up the good work on
fvwm2, Chuck!)
