I'm not sure what you are requesting, but I am one of those users who does not
use xbiff.  What I prefer is the InterViews mailbox program.  It shows a list
of the N most recent unread mail messages with an optional count of all unread
messages on the left side.  That way I can see if there is something important
waiting to be read.

I had to hack mailbox up a bit to get it to display the count when it is >9.
The default behavior is to display an '*' when the count is >9.  I changed it
to display the digits vertically for that case.
