Hi all,

I have my mail setup in ~/.fetchmailrc and I have 'fetchmail -s' setup
in a cron to run every 10 minutes. When I receive a new message, both
the system speaker beeps plus the message appears in any open terminal
window. I have some programs I keep running, like my BBS console,
snort console, BitchX, etc, and it throws off everything in these
windows when a message is stuck where ever the curser is currently at.

How can I disable this? I'm running Slackware 9.1, and I'm assuming
it's not fetchmail since I am using the -s switch. Does Slackware
have something running that notifies me of new messages as a
'convenience'? If so, I really need to find out how to disable it. I
want my mail to arrive in silence and I'll check when I have time.

Thanks for any suggestions or ideas,

Alex.
