I'd like it if there were a global or per-account setting in config.yaml
specifying a program to run when new mail arrives.
I usually use some OSD stuff like this:
#!/bin/sh
figlet -w 160 -f banner3 'MAIL' | osd_cat \
-p bottom \
-A right \
-d 6 \
-l 10 \
-c \#61a199 \
&
So I get a nice big MAIL in my lower right hand corner for a few
seconds.

is this something that really needs to be in sup? there are plenty of biff
programs that could do this independently.

Well, I don't know how anything like biff could detect that I have
unread mail in some IMAP folder. All my accounts are IMAP.
It'd just be another YAML option you could leave unset if you didn't
like it.

, in particular, links to 14 biff programs with imap support.

I didn't defend my feature request very well. Yeah, some other program
could also poll all my sources. But then half the time I'd get the
notification and then be looking at a sup with no new mail, because *it*
hadn't gotten around to polling and seeing the new mail yet.
I'm a minimalist and hate bloat. This feature request is like maybe 5
extra lines. This exact feature has been useful in other MUAs like
Sylpheed and Claws. It would be easy to ignore. It wouldn't slow down
anything by any meaningful amount.

I've been thinking about writing a (simple) general framework for
hooking user-written Ruby code onto Sup events. You could then trivially
use that to accomplish this by calling system(...). What do you think?

The same changeset I'm about to commit also will make this possible. Go
me.
