[Alpine-info] Possible Missing Bell/Beep on New Mail

All,

I think I remember that PINE used to produce a terminal bell
(a.k.a beep or xkbbell) whenever a new mail messages was found.
Currently, however, the bell produced by ALPINE 2.02 (re-alpine F15) seems
unpredictable. For example, only the first check that finds a new message
produces a bell. The next check will not produce a bell even if more new
messages have arrived since the previous check.
Is this a change or am I just remembering PINE incorrectly? I
don't need a separate bell for every new message, but I'd like one for
each check that found new mail.

Thanks,
Paul
