-What's Sylpheed
-===============
-
-Sylpheed is an e-mail client (and news reader) based on GTK+, running on
-X Window System, and aiming for
-
- * Quick response
- * Graceful, and sophisticated interface
- * Easy configuration, intuitive operation
- * Abundant features
-
-The appearance and interface are similar to some popular e-mail clients for
-Windows, such as Outlook Express, Becky!, and Datula. The interface is also
-designed to emulate the mailers on Emacsen, and almost all commands are
-accessible with the keyboard. You'll figure out the usage if you have ever
-used some e-mail clients for Windows, or Mew or Wanderlust.
-
-The messages are managed by MH format, and you'll be able to use it together
-with another mailer based on MH format (like Mew). You can also utilize
-fetchmail or/and procmail, and external programs on receiving (like inc or
-imget).
-
-Currently implemented features are:
-
- o POP3 support
- o IMAP4rev1 support
- o integrated NetNews client
- o unlimited multiple account handling
- o thread display
- o filtering
- o MIME (attachments)
- o built-in image view
- o X-Face support
- o multiple MH folder support
- o mbox importing / exporting
- o external editor support
- o message queueing
- o automatic mail checking
- o draft message function
- o template function
- o line-wrapping
- o clickable URI
- o XML-based address book
- o LDAP, vCard, and JPilot support
- o newly arrived and unread message management
- o Mew/Wanderlust-like key bind
- o printing
- o APOP authentication support
- o SMTP AUTH support
- o SSL support (POP3, SMTP, IMAP4rev1)
- o IPv6 support
- o drag & drop (partially implemented)
- o GnuPG support (currently implementing)
- o automake + autoconf support
- o internationalization of messages by gettext
- o support of many code sets, including UTF-8 (Unicode) (when using
- libjconv)
-
-and more.

-Usage
-=====
-
-Preparation before running
---------------------------
+Summary:
-If you want to use characters other than English (aka US-ASCII),
-you must specify some environmental variables related to locale.

-or
+1. What is Claws Mail?
+--------------------------
-% setenv LANG de_DE (csh, tcsh etc.)
+Claws Mail (previously known as Sylpheed-Claws) is a lightweight and
+highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+
+GUI toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
-(replace de_DE to appropriate locale name)
+Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
-If you don't want translated messages, set LC_MESSAGES to "C"
-(and unset LC_ALL if specified).
+To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
-How to run
-----------
+When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
+'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information
+necessary to create a new account.
-Input `sylpheed' on a command line, or double-click the icon on a file
-manager to execute.
-Initial startup
----------------
-
-When Sylpheed is executed for the first time, it automatically creates the
-configuration files under ~/.sylpheed/, and asks you the location of
-mailbox. The default is ~/Mail. If some files which are non-MH format
-already exist on the directory, you will have to specify another location.
+2. Plugins
+----------
-Required settings
+Claws Mail' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
+the following plugins included, all of which are built automatically
+if the required libraries are present.
+
+Plugins are installed in $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail/plugins/
+and have a suffix of '.so'
+To load a plugin go to '/Configuration/Plugins' and click
+the 'Load Plugin' button.
+Select the plugin that you want and click 'OK'
+
+All plugin preferences can be found under
+'/Configuration/Preferences/Plugins/'.
+
+ o ACPI Notifier
+ Notifies of new mail via the mail LED available on some laptops. The
+ LED can be set to blinking or on states when new mail is received.
+ Appropriate kernel modules have to be loaded first for this plugin to
+ work. Laptops supported are from ACER (acerhk and acer_acpi modules),
+ ASUS (asus_laptop and asus_acpi), IBM (ibm_acpi), Lenovo (tm_smapi)
+ and Fujitsu (apanel) manufacturers.
+
+ o Address Keeper
+ Saves mail addresses typed in the 'To', 'Cc' or 'Bcc' fields of
+ outgoing messages to a designated folder in the address book.
+ Addresses are saved only if not already present in the address book.
+
+ o Archiver
+ Archives mail folders using libarchive library. Folders can be archived
+ with or without compression (ZIP, GZIP or BZIP2) and also in several
+ formats (TAR, SHAR, PAX or CPIO).
+ Libarchive is available from http://www.libarchive.org/.
+
+ o Attachment Remover
+ Selectively removes attachments from messages. Messages are permanently
+ modified by using this feature, so be careful!
+
+ o Attachment Warning
+ Warns the user of possibly forgotten attachments when some keywords
+ are found in the outgoing messages. False positives (being warned when
+ no attachment is realy needed) exist, but some configuration options
+ can help to reduce their probability.
+
+ o Bogofilter
+ Enables the scanning of incoming mail received from a POP,
+ IMAP, or LOCAL account using Bogofilter. It can optionally
+ delete mail identified as spam or save it to a designated folder.
+ Bogofilter is a pure Bayesian filter, therefore it has better
+ speed performance than SpamAssassin but might catch less spam.
+ Bogofilter is available from http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/.
+
+ o BSFilter
+ Checks all messages received from IMAP, POP or local accounts using
+ BSFilter, a bayesian spam filter program, which has to be installed
+ locally. Messages identified as spam can be deleted or saved to a
+ designated folder.
+ Bsfilter is available from http://sourceforge.jp/projects/bsfilter/.
+
+ o Clamd
+ Uses the Clam AntiVirus in daemon mode to scan received messages from
+ IMAP, POP or local accounts. Scanning is done through a socket to the
+ daemon, so it has to be previously configured to allow this.
+ Clam AntiVirus is available from http://www.clamav.net/.
+
+ o Fetchinfo
+ Modifies downloaded messages and inserts special headers containing
+ some download information: UIDL, Claws Mail account name, POP server,
+ user ID and retrieval time. These headers can be used later for more
+ elaborate filtering or processing rules.
+
+ o Fancy
+ Renders HTML mails and HTML parts of multipart messages using the GTK+
+ port of the WebKit library. External content is blocked by default
+ (including images) to avoid remote tracking, but can be enabled either
+ globally or just on the displayed message.
+ GTK+ WebKit is available from http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/.
+
+ o GData
+ Includes your Gmail account contacts in the list generated for
+ Tab-address completion on compose window, using the GData library.
+ Gdata library is available from https://live.gnome.org/libgdata/.
+
+ o MailMbox
+ Handles mailboxes in Mbox format using the libEtPan! library. Mbox
+ files can be added to the folder tree and used like regular mailboxes.
+ LibEtPan! is available from http://www.etpan.org/.
+
+ o Newmail
+ Writes a header summary to a log file for each mail received after
+ sorting. The file for the summary is ~/Mail/NewLog.
+
+ o Notification
+ Provides various ways of notifying the user of new and unread email.
+ Current methods include: a banner, a popup window, a user command,
+ a message to a LCD daemon, a system tray icon and an indicator icon.
+ Sound notifications are also possible through libcanberra. Each method
+ can be customized in detail through the plugin preferences.
+ Indicator library is available from https://launchpad.net/libindicator/
+ and libcanberra from http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/.
+
+ o Perl
+ Extends the filtering possibilities of Claws Mail. Provides a Perl 5
+ interface to Claws Mail's filtering mechanism, allowing the use of full
+ Perl power in email filters. A conversion script is provided to
+ translate user rules into perl rules suitable for this plugin.
+ Perl is available from http://www.perl.org/.
+
+ o PDF Viewer
+ Displays Portable Document Format (PDF) and PostScript attachments
+ within the message view using Poppler. PostScript attachments are
+ converted to PDF on the fly by the 'gs' tool, which has to be installed
+ first. The 'gs' tool is available from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.
+ The Poppler library is available from http://poppler.freedesktop.org/.
+
+ o PGP/Core
+ Handles core PGP functions and is required by the PGP/Inline
+ and PGP/MIME plugins.
+ Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
+
+ o PGP/inline
+ Handles inline PGP signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
+ decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
+ own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
+
+ o PGP/MIME
+ Handles PGP/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
+ decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
+ own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
+
+ o Python
+ Provides Python scripting access to Claws Mail functions. A testing
+ console is also featured. Scripts can be saved to specific folders
+ for automatic loading on startup or being available as new menu items
+ under the '/Tools/Python scripts' menu.
+ Python is available from http://python.org/.
+
+ o RSSyl
+ Creates mailboxes where newsfeeds in RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 or Atom format
+ can be added. Each newsfeed will create a folder with the appropriate
+ entries, fetched from the web. You can read them, and delete or keep
+ old entries.
+
+ o S/MIME
+ Handles S/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can decrypt mails,
+ verify signatures or sign and encrypt your own mails.
+
+ o SpamAssassin
+ Scans incoming mail received from a POP, IMAP or LOCAL account using
+ SpamAssassin. It can optionally delete mail identified as spam or save
+ it to a designated folder.
+ SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
+
+ o Spam Report
+ Reports spam messages to online spam harvesting sites. Sites suported
+ are http://www.signal-spam.fr/ and http://www.spamcop.net/. The Debian

+ Decodes attachments with 'application/ms-tnef' MIME type (also known
+ as "winmail.dat" files) in Claws Mail, using the ytnef library.
+ Decoded parts can be saved to files.
+ The ytnef library is available from http://ytnef.sourceforge.net/.
+
+ o VCalendar
+ Displays vCalendar messages. Only the meeting subset of the vCalendar
+ format is currently supported, which includes planning, sendding and
+ receiving invitations and answering them. Public calendar (WebCal)
+ subscriptions, free/busy information export/import and reminding of
+ events is also supported.
+
+
+Additonal plugins can be found here:
+http://www.claws-mail.org/plugins.php
+
+
+3. Actions
+----------
+ The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
+ commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
+ just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
+ filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
+ the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
+ actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Claws Mail.
+ For example, Claws Mail does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
+ popular in some newsgroups. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
+ all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
+ provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
+
+ a. Usage
+ --------
+
+ To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
+ Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
+ command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
+ By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
+
+ The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Claws Mail
+ stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
+ following syntax for the command:
+
+ * %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
+ than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
+ the appropriate file name
+ * %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
+ one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
+ are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
+ list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
+ then the command will be launched for each selected message with
+ the name of this message and with the list of all selected
+ messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
+ * %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
+ The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
+ message, it denotes the message body.
+ * Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
+ input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
+ * Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
+ input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
+ contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
+ entering passwords).
+ * Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
+ That means "fire and forget". Claws Mail won't wait for the
+ command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
+ messages.
+ * Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
+ displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
+ or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
+ will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
+ * Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
+ displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
+ or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
+ will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
+
+ Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
+ compose window.
+
+ When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Claws Mail
+ will be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
+ finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
+ window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
+ the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
+ when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
+ being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
+ from the outputs of the others.
+
+ a. Examples
+ -----------
+
+ Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
+ storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
+ ~/.claws-mail/actionsrc file (exit Claws Mail before). The syntax
+ is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
+ and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
+
+ Purpose: rot13 cyphering
+ Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
+ Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
+ (selected) text in the message/compose view.
+
+ Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
+ Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
+ Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
+ multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
+
+ Purpose: Display uuencoded image
+ Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
+ Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
+ the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
+
+ Purpose: Alter messages
+ Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
+ Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
+ unneeded message parts, etc.
+
+ Purpose: Pretty format
+ Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
+ Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
+ very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
+ text. Used when composing a message
+
+ Purpose: Browse
+ Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
+ Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
+
+
+ [1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
+ distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
+ latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
+ standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
+ instead of standard input.
+
+
+4. Icon Themes
+--------------
+ Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
+ downloaded from http://www.claws-mail.org/themes.php
+ You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
+ directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
+ to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
+
+ This interface can also be used to install new themes.
+
+
+5. Quick Search with extended search
+------------------------------------
+ Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
+ enables searching through folder's messages.
+
+ Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
+ have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
+ Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
+ Search type extended allows one to use Claws Mail's powerful
+ filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
+ from regexpcase "foo"
+ subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "claws-mail"
+
+ Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
+ powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
+ immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
+
+ Pattern Parameter Selects
+ ----------------------------------------------------
+ a all messages
+ ag # messages whose age is greater than #
+ al # messages whose age is lower than #
+ b S messages which contain S in the message body
+ B S messages which contain S in the whole message
+ c S messages carbon-copied to S
+ C S message is either to: or cc: to S
+ D deleted messages
+ e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
+ E S true if execute "S" succeeds
+ f S messages originating from user S
+ F forwarded messages
+ h S messages which contain header S
+ i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
+ I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
+ k # messages which are marked with color #
+ L locked messages
+ n S messages which are in newsgroup S
+ N new messages
+ O old messages
+ r messages which have been replied to
+ R read messages
+ s S messages which contain S in subject
+ se # messages whose score is equal to #
+ sg # messages whose score is greater than #
+ sl # messages whose score is lower than #
+ Se # messages whose size is equal to #
+ Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
+ Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
+ t S messages which have been sent to S
+ tg S messages with tags containing S
+ tagged messages which are tagged
+ T marked messages
+ U unread messages
+ x S messages which contain S in References header
+ x "cmd args" messages returning 0 when passed to command
+ - %F is message file
+ y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
+
+ & logical AND operator
+ | logical OR operator
+ ! or ~ logical NOT operator
+ % case sensitive search
+
+ all filtering expressions are allowed
+
+ # means number
+ S means regexp string
+
+ It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
+ NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
+ Examples:
+ T marked messages
+ U unread messages
+ f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
+ %f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
+ ~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
+ f foo & ~s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
+
+
+6. Custom toolbar
-----------------
-Initially, you have to create at least one account to send or receive
-messages (you can read messages that already exist without creating
-accounts). The configuration dialog will be shown by clicking
-"Configuration -> Create new account..." on the menu, or "Account" on
-the toolbar. Then, fill the required settings.
-
-Refer to the manual supplied with this program for the general usage.
-
-Information
-===========
-
-You can check the newest version and information about Sylpheed at:
-
- http://sylpheed.good-day.net/
-
-There's also the manual of Sylpheed written by
-Yoichi Imai <yoichi@silver-forest.com> on:
-
- http://y-imai.good-day.net/sylpheed/
-
-Feedback
-========
-
-Comments, ideas and (most of all) bug reports (and especially patches) are
-very welcome.
-
-Anonymous cvs
-=============
-
-You can get the newest source code with the anonymous cvs.
-
-First, set your CVSROOT environment variable to:
-
- :pserver:anonymous@sylpheed.good-day.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed
-
-Next, login with:
-
- cvs login
-
-and just press Enter key to `CVS password:'.
-
-Move to an appropriate directory, and with the command:
-
- cvs -z3 checkout sylpheed
-
-a source tree named `sylpheed' is created under the current directory.
-
-To update to the newest source tree, run the command:
-
- cvs -z3 update
+ /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
+ toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
+ an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
+ from are predefined. You can also have your "Claws Mail Actions"
+ (refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
+
+ Example:
+ * Configuration->Actions
+ - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
+ * Configuration->Custom toolbar
+ - select Claws Mail Actions Feature
+ - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
+ - choose an icon and click ok
+
+
+
+7. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
+------------------------------------
+ Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
+ Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
+ messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
+ informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
+ message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
+ download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
+ download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
+ retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
+ deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
+ as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
+ If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
+ it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
+ Trash folder has been emptied.
+
+
+8. Hidden options
+-----------------
-on the top directory of the source tree.
+ It is recommended that you use Clawsker to edit these options,
+ http://www.claws-mail.org/clawsker.php
+
+ addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog (default: 1)
+ Use a separate dialogue to edit a person's details. '0'
+ will use a form embedded in the addressbook's main window.
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ bold_unread (default: 1)
+ show unread messages using bold font in summary view
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
+ the maximum kB of memory Claws Mail should use. It will try
+ to keep the memory usage below this value, but it will always
+ use the assigned amount of memory for speed gain.
+
+ cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
+ the minimum time in minutes Claws Mail will keep the folder
+ cache in memory. If a cache is more recent than this time it
+ will not be freed even if the memory usage is above the
+ maximum. You should probably set this value higher than your
+ mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will always be freed
+ between checks even if the folder is accessed on every check,
+ which will cause much disk IO.
+
+ compose_no_markup (default: 0)
+ prevent italic and bold text in the Compose dialog account
+ selector
+ 0: normal (markup) 1: no markup
+
+ diff_added_color (default: #008b8b)
+ diff_deleted_color (default: #6a5acd)
+ diff_hunk_color (default: #a52a2a)
+ Colors to use when displaying attachments in unified diff
+ format.
+
+ emphasis_color (default: #0000CF)
+ The colour used for the X-Mailer line when its value is
+ Claws Mail.
+
+ enable_dotted_lines (default: 0)
+ Use the old dotted line look in the main window GtkTreeView
+ components, (Folder List and Message List), instead of the
+ modern lineless look.
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ enable_hscrollbar (default: 1)
+ enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ enable_swap_from (default: 0)
+ display sender's email address in To column in Sent folder
+ instead of recipient's
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
+ specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
+ 0: always 1: automatic 2: never

+ time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to expand
+ during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held over it
+
+ live_dangerously (default: 0)
+ Don't ask for confirmation before definitive deletion of
+ emails.
+ 0: off 1: on

+ is used in the Message List.
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ outgoing_fallback_to_ascii (default: 1)
+ The outgoing encoding of a message will use 7bit US-ASCII
+ whenever it is suitable for the message content, ignoring
+ the "Outgoing encoding" option unless it is necessary.
+ Turning this option off forces the user-defined encoding to
+ be used, regardless of message content.
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ primary_paste_unselects (default: 0)
+ Causes the primary buffer to be cleared and the insertion
+ point to be repositioned when the middle mouse button is used
+ for pasting text.
+ 0: off 1: on
+
+ respect_flowed_format (default: 0)
+ Respect format=flowed on text/plain message parts. This will
+ cause some mails to have long lines, but will fix some URLs
+ that would otherwise be wrapped.

+10. How to contribute
+---------------------
+
+You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail bugzilla at
+http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
+But please first read the patch guidelines here:
+http://www.claws-mail.org/devel.php
+
+If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
+<paul@claws-mail.org> or consider posting to the
+Claws Mail-users mailing list.
+http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
+
+Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
+http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
+
+Of course, you can also post to the Claws Mail-users mailing list.
+
+Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
+don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
+a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
+<paul@claws-mail.org>. We can probably arrange access to the
+Claws Mail Git repository.
+
+
+
+11. How to request features
+---------------------------
+
+Ask around in Claws Mail-users ML. Note that some developers may
+have already thought about your feature and may, perhaps, be implementing
+it, or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
+You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
+cool!) Another possibility is to add a request to our bugzilla, (severity:
+'enhancement'), at
+http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
+
+
+12. Installing Claws Mail from Git
+--------------------------------------
+
+ a. Downloading
+ --------------
+
+ To download the latest Git, cd to the directory where you wish to download
+ to and type the following information:
+
+ git clone http://git.claws-mail.org/readonly/claws.git
+
+ Later, when you want to update your local repository, you'll just have to
+ go back to the 'claws' directory, and type:
+
+ git pull --all
+
+ b. Installing
+ -------------
+
+ To compile and install use the following commands:
+
+ ./autogen.sh [add configure options as required]
+ make
+ make install [as root]
+
+ You will need a full set of development tools installed to be able to run
+ autogen.sh. See also ac/README.
