- <para>
- Actions allow you to use all the power of the Unix command-line with
- your emails. You can define various commands, taking parameters such
- as the current email file, a list of emails, the currently selected
- text, and so on. In this way, you'll be able to perform various tasks
- such as editing a raw mail in your text editor,
- <emphasis>hide</emphasis> what you mean using ROT-13, apply patches
- contained in emails directly, and so on. The only limit is your
- imagination. You can create and configure Actions via the
- <quote>/Configuration/Actions...</quote> menu.
- </para>
- <para>
- The <quote>Tools/Actions/</quote> menu will contain one submenu
- item for each action that you have created. When you have selected
- one or more messages in the Message List, or are viewing a message
- in the Message View, selecting one of these menu items will invoke
- the action, and, depending on how it was defined, will pass the
- message(s) to it.
- </para>
- <para>
- Additionally, it is possible to add toolbar entries for your
- actions. To do so, open the <quote>Configuration/Preferences</quote>
- menu and select <quote>Toolbars/Main Window</quote>.
- Select <quote>User Action</quote> in the <quote>Item type</quote>
- dropdown menu, then select the Action in the <quote>Event executed on click</quote>
- dropdown menu, and click the <quote>Icon</quote> button to select the
- icon that you want to use.

- <title>Templates</title>
- <para>
- Templates are used in composition windows, and act as a model for
- emails. Templates can be filled with static text and dynamic parts,
- such as the original sender's name (<quote>Dear %N, ...</quote>),
- the date, etc. When applying a template, the dynamic fields will be
- replaced with the relevant values. You can configure templates via
- the <quote>Tools</quote> menu.
- </para><para>
- When applying a template, you will be asked to <quote>Insert</quote>
- or <quote>Replace</quote>, the difference between replacing and
- inserting is only concerned with the message body.
- <quote>Replace</quote> will replace the current composition window
- message body with the body defined in the template, clearing it if
- the template body is empty. <quote>Insert</quote> will insert
- the template's body, if set, at the current cursor position.
- </para><para>
- Whether you choose to Insert or Replace, any To, Cc or Bcc field
- that is defined in the template will be appended to the compose
- window's recipients list. If it is defined, the template's Subject
- will always replace the compose window's Subject.
- </para><para>
- Symbols can be used in all parts of the templates and will be
- substituted with their respective dynamic value if possible, otherwise
- no value will be used. This often makes more sense if you apply a
- template when replying or forwarding, otherwise most of the symbols
- value will be undefined. There is no restriction on which symbols can
- be used in template parts, even if inserting the body (%M or %Q) may
- make no sense in common situations.
- </para><para>
- When applying a template, the body is processed first, then the To, Cc,
- Bcc and Subject fields follow.
- </para><para>
- Further information and examples of usage can be found in the
- user-contributed FAQ on the Claws Mail website <ulink
- url="https://www.claws-mail.org/faq/"
- >www.claws-mail.org/faq/</ulink>.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="adv_processing">
- <title>Processing</title>
- <para>
- Processing rules are the same as Filtering rules, except that they are
- applied when entering a folder or when manually applied from a folder's
- context menu and apply only to this folder. You can use them to automatically
- move old mails into an archive folder, or for further dispatching of
- emails, and more. You can set each folder's Processing rules by
- right-clicking on it.
- </para><para>
- Processing rules are accompanied by Pre-processing and Post-processing
- rules. Like Processing rules, they apply when opening a folder or manually
- applying them from a folder's context menu, but like Filtering rules,
- they are shared across all folders. You can configure them from the
- <quote>Tools</quote> menu. Pre-processing rules are executed before the
- folder's specific Processing rules, while Post-processing rules are executed
- afterwards.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="adv_colour_labels">
- <title>Colour Labels</title>
- <para>
- Colour labels can be used to denote a message as having a particular
- significance. To set a colour label simply right-click a message in the
- Message List and use the <quote>Color label</quote> submenu.
- </para><para>
- Colour labels are user-configurable. Both the colour and the label can
- be set by the user. Preferences can be found on the
- <quote>Configuration/Preferences/Display/Colors</quote> page.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="adv_tags">
- <title>Tags</title>
- <para>
- Tags are short text notes which may be set on messages. They are useful
- for classifying messages with your own words. These tags can be used
- later to find the mails with Quick Search or to manage them with
- filtering or processing rules, for example.
- </para><para>
- Tagged messages are displayed with a yellow background at the top of
- the Message View. This line shows all tags associated with the
- message. You can enable the "Tags" column in the Message List, so
- tagged items can be seen without having to open the message.
- </para><para>
- Setting of tags is done by right-clicking on the message in the Message
- List or by the corresponding option in Message menu. A panel with the
- existing tags is shown and you can select some of them or just add a
- new one. Removal of existing tags is also allowed, of course.
- </para><para>
- Once tags exist it's even easier, as the context menu allows you to
- set and unset tags with just one click to the selected messages.
- Mixed selections of tagged and untagged messages are allowed, and
- Claws Mail is clever enough to do what you want to do in any case.
- </para>

- <section id="adv_ml_support">
- <title>Mailing-List support</title>
- <para>
- Claws Mail offers mailing-list support from the
- <quote>Message/Mailing-List/</quote> submenu. When you have a
- mailing-list message selected, the submenu allows you to quickly
- initiate subscribing, unsubscribing, posting, getting help, contacting
- the list owner, and viewing the list archive; either by opening a new
- Compose window with the appropriate address pre-filled, or by opening
- the URL in your web browser.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="adv_plugins">
- <title>Plugins</title>
- <para>
- Plugins are the mechanism for extending Claws Mail' capabilities.
- For example, imagine that you want to store your mails in a remote
- <acronym>SQL</acronym> database. In most mailers out there this is
- simply impossible without reworking the internals of the mailer. With
- Claws Mail you can simply write a plugin to achieve the task.
- </para><para>
- This is just an example of the possibilities. A good number of plugins
- developed for Claws Mail already exist, and more are to come. The
- <link linkend="ch_plugins">Extending Claws Mail section</link>
- gives details of them.

- <section id="deploying">
- <title>Deploying Claws Mail</title>
- <para>
- The initial configuration wizard tries to guess various fields using
- information gathered from the system, such as username, hostname, and
- more. As it is oriented towards general use, the default values often
- have to be fixed. However, this wizard is customisable, in a manner
- designed to allow system administrators to deploy Claws Mail easily
- over various users of one machine, or even over multiple machines
- installed via some replication tool.
- </para><para>
- The first part consists of creating a wizard configuration template
- and setting the various default parameters of a new Claws Mail
- installation.
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Start with a user who does not have a <filename class="directory"
- >~/.claws-mail</filename> directory, ideally a new user.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Start Claws Mail and go through the wizard. The values you fill in
- will be of no use for the future deployment, so you can click
- next-next-next.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Once the wizard is finished and you have Claws Mail' main window
- opened, configure the various defaults you want to have in the master.
- You can load plugins, add people or LDAP servers in the addressbook,
- create filtering rules, and so on.
- </para>

- <para>
- Now, edit the newly created wizard template file,
- <filename>~/.claws-mail/accountrc.tmpl</filename>. In this file,
- you will see different variables, corresponding to the wizard's fields.
- You can leave some commented, in which case the usual default will be
- used, or specify values or variables. Not all fields can contain
- variables; for example, <literal>smtpauth</literal>,
- <literal>smtpssl</literal> and <literal>recvssl</literal> are booleans,
- either 0 or 1, and <literal>recvtype</literal> is an integer value. The
- other fields, like <literal>name</literal>, <literal>email</literal>,
- or <literal>recvuser</literal>, are parsed by the wizard and the
- variables they contain are replaced by values. This allows you to
- specify everything as needed for your site, even if you have strange
- server names or server logins.
- </para>

- Save this file, and delete both
- <filename>~/.claws-mail/accountrc</filename>, (which contains your

- folder tree will be correctly parsed for new users). Recursively copy
- <filename class="directory">.claws-mail</filename> to
- <filename class="directory">/etc/skel/</filename>; if the deployed
- Claws Mail will use MH folders, also copy the created
- <filename class="directory">Mail</filename> directory. chown all of
- <filename class="directory">/etc/skel/.claws-mail</filename>
- and <filename class="directory">/etc/skel/Mail</filename> to
- <literal>root:root</literal> for security reasons.

- <para>
- Claws Mail allows setting the Face and X-Face headers directly
- from files, either globally for all defined accounts
- or on a per-account basis. These files must be placed in the
- <filename>~/.claws-mail/autofaces/</filename> directory.
- </para>
- <para>
- If they exist, the global Face and/or X-Face headers for all
- accounts are taken from the <filename>face</filename> and/or
- <filename>xface</filename> files respectively. In a similar
- manner, Face and/or X-Face headers for a specific account can
- be provided by <filename>face.</filename><emphasis>accountname</emphasis>
- and/or <filename>xface.</filename><emphasis>accountname</emphasis>,
- where <emphasis>accountname</emphasis> is the name of the account you
- want this header to be associated with.
- </para>
- <para>
- If the name of the account contains characters which may be unsuitable
- for the underlying filesystem (including spaces) these are replaced by
- underscores (<quote>_</quote>) when searching for the autofaces of
- that account. For example, if your account is called
- <quote><My Mail></quote>, the name for the X-Face filename for
- that account would be
- <filename>~/.claws-mail/autofaces/xface._My_Mail_</filename>.
- Be aware that this feature doesn't check the content of the files,
- or for duplication of headers, (most mailers, including Claws
- Mail, will ignore duplicates and display the last one only).
