* eud2gc.py WHAT IT DOES This python-script is a quick hack to convert an Eudora (v.3?) addressbook to vCard (GnomeCard) format. HOW TO USE IT You may do whatever you want with it! (Also regarding copying) However, the script is intended to use like this: eud2gc.py Be carefull not to overwrite your original GnomeCard.gcrd! (But of course you might want to add the converted stuff to it) Copyleft some time long ago (around 1999?) by Jeroen Versteeg (j.m.versteeg@student.utwente.nl) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * 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. Any problems, contact Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * 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!). Any problems, contact Ricardo Mones Lastra ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * 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 In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly: python ldif-to-xml.py 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. Any problems, contact Rod Senra -----------------------------------------------------------------------
