Greetings,

As I have understood I am not the only one who wishes to use xbiff to
announce new mail instead of Mutt, I assume someone of you know what
goes on in the new version 1.2. It seems to me that it no longer is
possible to turn off the timeout by using a value of zero or less.

A quick grep in the source for 'Timeout' gives: (among others)
  curs_lib.c:  if (Timeout)
  keymap.c:      timeout ((Timeout > 0 ? Timeout : 60) * 1000);
To me this looks like negative values are not treated the same as
zero, and that one cannot be without a timeout. But since I don't read
the full code I cannot really say :)

My experience from using timeout=0 in both 1.0 and 1.2 is that it
gives me a timeout only in 1.2. So maybe this fix(?) with a forced
timeout isn't taken care of later to avoid unwanted mail-checks?

Can anyone of you point out my error? or duplicate the behavior?

Using a very high timeout-value solves my 'problem' though..
