Let me give that a shot and see what I can come up with. Where would I send
the resulting diff file to?

Anyway, yes, you're right. All I've done in my little proof of concept file
that I replaced newmail.php with (the popup notifier window) is create a
static HTML page and embed an SWF file with the set to 1x1 pixel (so it's
basically hidden). So, every time new mail arrives, the popup window is
displayed and the Flash player plugin plays the SWF file (which is just a SWF
file with an MP3 imported into it). Unlike the Quicktime player plugin for
Mozilla/Firefox, the audible notification of new mail is intantaneous because
the Flash player loads up faster than the Quicktime player does.

How to embed the SWF file in left_main.php is over my head right now because
I don't understand how the plugin hooks work.
