I'm trying to discover what factors determine when the New Mail Notification
Sound ("You've got mail" and others) is played. All I have learned so far is
that 1) the sound does NOT play on the receipt of EVERY new message -- which
makes sense, I guess; 2) the sound does NOT play when OE is not yet running
-- duh. Actually, I'm not 100% certain of that either. All I can say is that
I have not yet gotten the sound to play when I send a new message and OE is
not running. But does it play only after some fixed length of time since
that latest previous notification? Does it play only when OE is running and
the main window is NOT minimized? Or, when OE is running and the main window
IS minimized? Are there other factors?

TIA,

Phil
