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.
Xzewd is in
the process of sending a message.
Your message was
sent successfully.
A message
couldn't be sent, because no one exists by that name, or perhaps
because that person isn't logged in.
Someone has logged in.
Someone has
logged out.
Your status line has been taken over by Anne
Dudfield's cat, Gonad.
