The theory that BIFF is a denizen of BITNET is supported by BIFF's (unfortunately invalid) {electronic mail address}: . [1993: Now It Can Be Told! My spies inform me that BIFF was originally created by Joe Talmadge , also the author of the infamous and much-plagiarised "Flamer's Bible".

Versions have since been posted for the amusement of the net at large. - ESR] [Jargon File] (1997-09-22) From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]: biff /bif/ To notify someone of incoming mail.
