- Description:
- biffer replaces and enhances the normal result of "biff(1)". It

the mail recipient is not currently signed on), ignore messages
that match user-specified patterns in mail headers, do text or X
notifications, and also run an arbitrary program.
Needs a slight modification to the stock comsat, included here
as biffer_comsat.
Written at the University of Waterloo circa 1988, and in use since
then with some modifications.

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports. |

(many of which are ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE -> ${PKGMESSAGE} type fixes that
shouldn't have been necessary) and the string "/pkg/" appear. |
