Set the shapeWindow resource to True (or use -shape on the command
line).  Use the bitmap program and make a bitmap and bitmap_mask file
with all 0's and use them for the "empty" bitmaps and anything you
want for the "full" bitmaps.  Then you get nothing whatsoever
displayed when you don't have mail but you get whatever you specified
for the "full" bitmap when you do have mail.  For example:

xbiff*shapeWindow:	True
xbiff*fullPixmap:	HOME/lib/bitmaps_x11/zippy.xbm
xbiff*fullPixmapMask:	HOME/lib/bitmaps_x11/zippy_mask.xbm
xbiff*emptyPixmap:	HOME/lib/bitmaps_x11/blank.xbm
xbiff*emptyPixmapMask:	HOME/lib/bitmaps_x11/blank_mask.xbm
