No can do as far as I can tell from the readme.

yes you can! shame on you JCG

you need psywavbang.dll to display the wav file. in the lsmail readme you will find the following step.rc settings.

=================================================================
LSMailNewMailCmd !bang ; Bang to be executed when there is new mail
LSMailNoMailCmd !bang ; Bang to be executed when you don't have any mail
LSMailCheckMailCmd !bang ; Bang to be executed when lsmail checks for new mail
LSMailDoneCheckCmd !bang ; Bang to be executed when lsmail is done checking
LSMailErrorCmd !bang ; Bang to be executed if an error has occured
=================================================================

so you can set a sound or any other command for each of these events.

example:
LSMailNewMailCmd !PlayWav $ThemeDir$\sound\newmail.wav


you do not even need soundfiles for this. LiteStep can speak to you. check out litespeak.dll. great fun! or go retro and make your computer speakers beep with beep.dll.

find all the modules in the audio section of LooseScrews http://loose-screws.com/modules.php?index=2&cat=1

Cool, another new toy. I never heard of psywavbang.dll before. I've only seen wav files played when the module itself supports it. Well, you learnsomething new every day.

better get litespeak.dll (LiteStep speaks) and VoiceX.dll (Speech recogniton). so you can have a nice converstion with your computer and get rid of all that 20st century stuff as keyboard, mouse and monitor

Psywavbang was a cool mod. I might be mistaken, but I think it no longer works with newer builds. I used to use it in all my older themes but eventually compatibility broke.
Or I might be dreaming; check it out, and let us know
