Idioms: Notification of incoming messages

If you use Mesmerizer chat, incoming messages will appear in the same place as local chat.   Unlike IMs, they won't cause a persistent flag to appear, so they can be easy to miss.   One way to make them more noticeable is to have a notification sound play when one arrives.   This is simple to do, using a trigger-rule fired by the on-commlink-message event, like this:

   on-commlink-message = internal play "Pling"

"Pling" is an included sound;  if you prefer to use a different sound, you can use the sounds command to list the built-in sounds, or you can use a key of any full-perm sound (for example, one in your inventory).
