20050317 OPENWEBMAIL UNREAD INBOX MESSAGES TITLEBAR NOTIFICATION PATCH:
Overview:
This is a small patch to add a message in the browser titlebar when the inbox
has unread messages. This was a feature request on the forums:
Subtle Notification of New Mail? [forum.openwebmail.org]
The implementation does not notify of new messages, only unread messages. This
is because it is assumed that users using this feature are most likely the type
who leave their browser open all day, minimized. Everytime the browser refreshes
it will look for new messages. When new messages are found, we can notify in the
titlebar. However, if the user does not notice the message before the browser
refreshes again, they will not see the message because the new messages will no
longer be new, they will simply be unread. Therefore it is better implemented
as a unread messages notification rather than a new messages notification.
