Replacement for xbiff that handles popup window with mail headers

Fancy biff program under X11 environment.

Hbiff is a replacement for xbiff that flashes when new mail arrives like the traditional xbiff. In addition, if you click on the hbiff icon, a window will popup showing the mail headers. This makes hbiff better than xlbiff where privacy is an issue since the headers are only displayed when you request. hbiff can also run the MUA for you.
