TOPIC: xbuffy-3.2.1
CONF: FreeBSD 2.1.0

Hello,
I'm looking for more information about xbuffy than provided by the man page.  The tool
really seems worthwhile, but I'm finding some inconsistentcies or maybe expecting more
than what the tool was designed for.  Specifically,

1) When started, xbuffy reports 24 messages in all mailboxes even though none of the
mailboxes had any mail in them.  This is reported in reverse video.

2) The man page states that the -poll <secs> command line arguments define how often
the mail boxes are polled.  When I send test mail to one of the mail boxes, and wait beyond
the defined polling time, xbuffy does not report that new mail has arrived in that mailbox or
ANY mailbox that I list with the -mail flag.

Essentially, xbuffy is reporting bogus mail when it starts, and then not continuing 
to poll
or at least report new mail as it arrives.  Anyone else running this without problems?
Any other documentation around on xbuffy besides the man page?

Jon
