   I reported this bug a while back, but will re-submit it for the Zephyr
   people, in case they have forgotten about it.

   zmailnotify will only display headers for the last 4 messages received
   instead of sending a notice for all the messages.

I'm not at all convinced this is a bug....  I really don't think I
would have enjoyed 35 zephyrgrams when I walked in today.  (I assume
this limit is intentional; I haven't looked at the code.)  It would
seem to me that providing a way to specify a maximum number (with some
form indicating "infinity") might be a reasonable solution....
