-You can also define your custom icon for the naughty notification. Just set `lain_mail_notify` into `theme.lua`:
+`settings` can use the value `mailcount`, an integer greater or equal to zero, and can modify `mail_notification_preset` table, which will be the preset for the naughty notifications. Check [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify) for the list of variables it can contain.
