Notifu supports concatenation of parameters

This Notifu update allows you to concatenate multiple /m and /p switches. It is usefull when a paramater to Notifu is feed by a program you have no control over.

For example, this command line now works :

notifu /p Concatenate /p " this" /m "Hello" /m ", " /m "World"

Nothing is added to your parameters. If you want a space, you must add it.

Note to self : Got to fix my release script… A simple update takes longer to post online than to code !

    Thanks Guillaume for the nice work! If you use thunderbird and its mailbox alert add-on, (http://tjeb.nl/Projects/Mailbox_Alert/index.html) Notifu, thanks to Guillaume’s efforts can be also used as a nice mail notifier. Mailbox alert allows to execute a command when a message arrives and can display nice balloons announcing stuf like the sender’s name or the subject of the new message. to use it properly owever, the command line must be typed in a special way (thanks to the new concatenation feature). For example, in the mailbox alert’s execute command field, you can type this :
    notifu.exe /p inbox: /m Message\ from\ /m %sendername

    No need to use quotes, as you would have done usually when you use Notifu, Mailbox alert can’t keep from adding them itself. Be also sure to “escape” all spaces needing to be displayed and the double-space before the second /m needed to separate the parameters.
    All those explanations have been given to me by Guillaume by mail and I hope they will be useful for other people.
    Cheers,
