public final class Biff

extends TsWindow

implements TsTable.Callback, java.awt.event.ActionListener, MailListener, WakeUpListener

The main application window. The window displays a table with mail messages, where each row represent a message.

Columns in the table represents fields in a message. Which field to display is configurable. There are lots of options for configuring the apperance of the table. Check out the Configure utility that could be reached from the popup menu.

When the user right-clicks anywhere inside the window, a popup menu appears with choices for:

1. Getting new mail
2. Sending mail
3. Configuring the application
4. Display an about box
5. Quit the application

It is possible to view a mail message (in detail) by double clicking on it in the table. A simple dialog will then popup with all available headers and mailbody (i.e. headers supported by this program)

If timeout is set by the user (in Config), the window will be hidden after a given amount of time has elapsed. The logic for displaying and hiding the biff window is as follows: If new mail are present in the mailbox this window will recive a mailevent that triggers a method which in turn will make this window visible. If timeout is on, then this method will also activate a timer, to hide the window after a certain time.

If the Biff window becomes hidden a Wakeup object will be activated. The purpose of this object is to let the user make the window visible again between new mailevents (if he wants to). The WakeUp object will listen at a certain port number and if anything tries to connect to that port, the Biff window will be visible.

If the user position and resizes the window and then quits the application, the window will remember it's geometry. That is, it will start with the same size and in the same position the next time.
