You can just set your password like this:
args.is_plain = false
args.password = "mypassword"
-and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`
+and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
**Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):
When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.
-You can also define your custom icon for the naughty notification. Just set `lain_mail_notify` into `theme.lua`.
