suggested changes to 1.4.1

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Ari -
I am a very new user of ari-yahoo and I feel that others might have better
suggestions than I, so I am taking the liberty of sharing your reply with
the 'speakup' mailing list where I know a number of your users reside. I
know they will not hesitate to pass along their own ideas.

One suggestion that might be very simple to implement is to add a bell
character to each received message as it is displayed. Many users leave
your program running on a virtual console while attending to tasks
elsewhere, and the audible bell character is no respecter of consoles - it
summons you from wherever you are when someone sends a message. If such a
feature would annoy other users, perhaps an on-off switch of some sort
could enable/disable it.

Thanks for your warm response. I will watch for the revision.

Regards - Chuck
