Binary package hint: thunderbird

Jaunty introduces a new central notification scheme via libnotify that already displays information like joined wireless networks or status changes from Pidgin. As Thunderbird is able to display notifications on incoming mail it would increase user experience to integrate those Thunderbird notifications in the new scheme.

Currently you can do this manually by installing the Thunderbird add-on "Mail Alert", the package "libnotify-bin" and add something like

/usr/bin/notify-send -i /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm %sendername %subject

to the Mail Alert configuration.
