The xzewd sender: the status line

# The Status Line

The status line tells you what xzewd is doing at the moment. It contains a little picture as well as some descriptive text.

This is the status line you'll normally see. It just means that xzewd is doing nothing in particular; it's waiting for you. You can change the way the fingers drum, if you'd like.

You can make a small "dirty flag" appear when you've modified a message but haven't sent it yet. The dirty flag looks like this (it's on the left-hand side):

Xzewd is busy locating people on your .anyone file. If you send a message while this status line is displayed, it won't actually get sent; it'll just queue up until xzewd is done locating.

Your status line has been taken over by Anne Dudfield's cat, Gonad.
