• Setting the growl variable to true will open a growl window with your new mail message.
  Click here to test it (you can change the default style of the growl window - check out this post on how to do that).
  Setting it to false will open a facebox window with the same message.
  
  var growl = true;


• The title of the popup window is set using the mailTitle variable. I've included an image in the title as an example:
  
  var mailTitle = "<img src='http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa236/Mottie1/testsite/icons/announce.png' align='left'>New Mail!";


• The content of the popup window is contained in mailMessage variable. The script will replace the "%x" with the number of unread mail messages
  
  var mailMessage = "You have %x new message(s)";


• The mailTime variable is used by the growl popup, it sets how long this window is displayed (in milliseconds) on screen before disappearing.
  
  var mailTime = 5000;


• Note: The popup windows will continue to open on every page of your site until the mail is read... so using the facebox option may be a bit annoying to your users.

1. Can this be set to jump to a mail page if clicked on?
2. Can the location of the growl window be changed.  For example, can it be set to open in the middle of the screen instead of the upper right?
3. Will this work with a horizontal nav bar and a hidden top bar (the one with the login link, mail notification and characters/settings links) or does it rely on the mail icon being read?
