* filter_conv.pl

  WHAT IT DOES

  This perl script provides easy conversion of your filtering rules
  form sylpheed's old filter system to the new filtering system used
  in sylpheed-claws. It reads 'filterrc' and outputs 'filteringrc'.

  HOW TO USE IT

  Move 'filter_conv.pl' to the $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
  From the $HOME/.sylpheed directory, issue the command:

        perl filter_conv.pl

  That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your
  previous rules applied.

* gif2xface.pl

  WHAT IT DOES

  This perl script converts a monochrome (1 bit) 48x48 pixels GIF file
  into an X-Face graphic suitable for inclusion into custom headers of
  Sylpheed. An X-Face allows to quickly identify (or be identified as)
  the sender of a mail message in a xface-capable MUA (like sylpheed).

  HOW TO USE IT

  After obtaining the desired image for your X-Face you should:
    * scale it to 48x48 pixels (Image->Scale image on Gimp)
    * down color depth to b/w (Image->Mode->Indexed selecting "Use
      Black/White palette" and the desired dithering options (prior to
      indexing doing Image->Colors->Threshold allows you to select the
      b/w level if you don't want a dithered (dotty) image))
    * save file as non-interlaced GIF
  Then do:

      ./gif2xface < filename.gif > filename.xface

  In filename.xface will be the X-Face header ready to use.
  You can add a custom header in Sylpheed through Configuration->
  Preferences per account, "Send" tab, check "Add user-defined header"
  then "Edit..." if you want to add it via Sylpheed interface, or do

      echo "0:" `cat filename.xface` > ~/.sylpheed/customheaderrc

  if you want to create the custom headers file yourself (Warning: this
  method is valid only if you don't have any other custom header set or
  they will be lost!).

* ldif-to-xml.py

  WHAT IT DOES

  This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
  the sylpheed xml format.

  HOW TO USE IT

  Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
  From the command line, execute:

      ./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>

  In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:

      python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>

  Either way a file called addressbook.xml will be generated in the current
  directory. This xml file should be merged with or simply placed in the
  $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
