-What's Sylpheed
-===============
-
-Sylpheed is an e-mail client and news reader based on GTK+ GUI toolkit,
-and runs on X Window System.
-
-Sylpheed is a free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
-
-The development of Sylpheed sets the following things as its goal:
-
- * Quick response by keeping CPU and memory usage to a minimum
- * Fast processing even though a folder contains large number of messages
- (more than 10 thousand)
- * Enables intuitive operation by simple, graceful, and well-polished
- interface
- * Similar operation methods to other mailers.
- * Readily available with simple configuration
- * Fully equipped with features required as a mailer
- * Full support of Japanese, and support of i18n
- * Enables flexible interaction with external commands
- * Stable, and don't lose any data (to the utmost) in case of crash
-
-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 Emacs-based mailers, and almost all commands are
-accessible with the keyboard. So you will able to migrate to Sylpheed
-without much discomfort in the case where you are accustomed to other
-mailers.
-
-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). It has less possibility
-of losing mails on failures since one file corresponds to one mail. You can
-import or export mbox format messages. You can also utilize fetchmail or/and
-procmail, and external programs on receiving (like inc or imget).

+1. What is Claws Mail?
+--------------------------
-(replace de_DE to appropriate locale name)
+Claws Mail is the extended version of Sylpheed, a lightweight and
+highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+ GUI
+toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
-If you don't want translated messages, set LC_MESSAGES to "C"
-(and unset LC_ALL if specified).
+Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
-How to run
-----------
+To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
-Input `sylpheed' on a command line, or double-click the icon on a file
-manager to execute.
+When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
+'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information necesary
+to create a new account.
-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, except SpamAssassin, 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'
+
+ o Clam AntiVirus
+ Enables the scanning of message attachments in mail
+ received from a POP, IMAP or LOCAL account using Clam
+ AntiVirus. It can optionally delete the mail or save it
+ to a designated folder. Preferences can be found in
+ '/Configuration/PreferencesPlugins/Clam AntiVirus'.
+ Clam AntiVirus is available from http://clamav.sourceforge.net/
+
+ o Dillo HTML Viewer
+ Enables the viewing of html messages using the Dillo web
+ browser, version 0.7.0 or newer. It uses Dillo's --local
+ option by default for safe browsing. Preferences can be
+ found in '/Configuration/Preferences/Plugins/Dillo Browser'.
+ Dillo is available from http://www.dillo.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 SpamAssassin
+ Enables the scanning of 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. Preferences can be found in '/Configuration/
+ Preferences/Plugins/SpamAssassin'.
+ SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
+
+ o Trayicon
+ Places an icon in the system tray that indicates whether
+ you have any new mail. A tooltip also shows the current
+ new, unread and total number of messages
+
+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, Sylpheed 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.
+
+ Purpose: Clear Sign
+ Definition: GnuPG/Clear Sign: |gpg-sign-syl|
+ Details: Clear sign a message. The gpg-sign-syl[2] script is responsible
+ for asking the passphrase and for running gnupg.
+
+ Purpose: Verify Clear Signed
+ Definition: GnuPG/Verify: |gpg --no-tty --verify
+ Details: Verify clear signed messages. The result is displayed in the
+ actions output dialog.
+
+ Purpose: Decrypt ASCII Armored
+ Definition: GnuPG/Decrypt: *gpg --no-tty --command-fd 0 --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt %f|
+ Details: Decrypt ASCII armored messages. The passphrase is entered
+ into the opened action's input dialog.
+
+ [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.
+
+ [2] The gpg-sign-syl script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
+ distribution package.
+
+
+
+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. Spell Checking
+-----------------
+ a. Requirements
+ b. Configuration and installation
+ c. Usage
+ d. Known problems
+
+ a. Requirements
+ ---------------
+
+ The spell checker in Claws Mail requires the GNU/aspell library
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
+
+ You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
+ to download and install them.
+
+ NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.
+
+ b. Configuring Claws
+ --------------------
+
+ Spell checking is enabled automatically if the aspell executable is
+ found. If it is in unusual places, use '--with-aspell-prefix' to state
+ the path to the aspell executable. E.g., if aspell's full path is
+ /foo/bar/bin/aspell, then use:
+
+ ./configure --with-aspell-prefix=/foo/bar
+
+ The '--with-aspell-prefix=PREFIX' option will let the configure
+ script search for includes and libraries in PREFIX/include and PREFIX/lib.
+
+ You can also manually specify the includes and libraries path by using
+ either following options:
+
+ --with-aspell-includes=/foo/bar/include
+
+ and/or
+
+ --with-aspell-libs=/rab/oof/lib
+
+ as appropriate.
+
+ The configure script summarizes the options compiled in. Check that
+ it lists 'GNU/aspell = yes'.
+
+ Then proceed as usual, with 'make' and 'make install'.
+
+ c. Usage
+ --------
+
+ After successful compiling, you need to tell Claws Mail where your
+ dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it, but in
+ case it did not, run 'aspell config dict-dir' on the shell to get the
+ path to the dictionaries.
+
+ Then run Sylpheed and go to /Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Spell Checking.
+ Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and use the directory selector to select
+ the path where the dictionaries reside. Within the file selector, go to that
+ directory and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK. Then, you should
+ be able to select your default dictionary.
+
+ When composing, misspelled words are highlighted. Click on any
+ highlighted word with the right mouse button to get a list of
+ suggestions. The first entry of the menu just displays the unknown
+ word. Selecting 'Accept in this session' (or hitting MOD1-Space,
+ where MOD1 is usually the ALT key) will ignore this word and accept
+ it in this message. Selecting the next entry, "Add to dictionary", which
+ is bound to MOD1-Enter combination, will add the unknown word to your
+ personal dictionary to learn it. The next entries are the suggested words.
+ The first 15 suggestions can be accessed by typing one of the first letters
+ of Latin alphabet (if this does not suit your language, please send
+ a mail to melvin.hadasht@free.fr). Aspell has a 'learn from mistake'
+ function that can be used by pressing the MOD1 key and selecting the
+ suggestion (with the keyboard or with the mouse). See GNU/aspell manual
+ ยง6.3 for an explanation of this feature (also called 'replacement storing').
+
+ If you click with the right mouse button everywhere else, or if you
+ shift-right-click even on a misspelled word, you get the
+ configuration menu. 'Check all' highlights all misspelled words.
+ With this menu, you can also change the dictionary while editing.
+ Finally, you can change the suggestion mode, and the learn from
+ misktakes feature.
+
+ Spell checking can also be done using keyboard shortcuts. In the
+ 'Edit' menu of the compose window, there are two menus 'Check backwards
+ misspelled word' and 'Forward to next misspelled word'. Add to them
+ appropriate keyboard shortcuts. 'Check backwards misspelled word'
+ checks backwards from cursor position for the first misspelled word.
+ If it finds one, it displays the suggestions lists which can be handled
+ with the keyboard as described before. When the suggestion menu is
+ closed, the cursor returns to its original position to be able to
+ continue editing. The 'Forward to next misspelled word' do the same
+ thing in the other direction but moves the cursor at the end of the
+ misspelled word. This way, you can spell check easily a whole message
+ starting from its beginning and using the 'Forward to next misspelled
+ word' keyboard short cut.
+
+
+6. 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 Sylpheed'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
+ 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
+ T marked messages
+ U unread messages
+ x S messages which contain S in References header
+ y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
+
+ # 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
+
+
+7. 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.
-
-Hidden settings
----------------
-
-You can configure most of the features in Sylpheed through the preferences
-dialog, but there are a few parameters which don't have user interface
-(you don't have to modify them in normal use). You must edit
-~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc by an editor when Sylpheed is not running.
-
-allow_jisx0201_kana allow JIS X 0201 Kana (half-width kana) on
- sending.

-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 Sylpheed Actions Feature
+ - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
+ - choose an icon and click ok
+
+
+
+8. 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.
+
+
+
+

+11. How to contribute
+---------------------
+
+You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail sourceforge
+project's Patch Tracker.
+http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=384600&group_id=25528&func=browse
+
+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/sylpheed-claws/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 CVS tree.
+
+
+
+12. How to request features
+---------------------------
+
+Ask around in Claws Mail-users ML. Note that some developers may
+have already thought about your feature, 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 use the Feature Request Tracker at the
+sourceforge project.
+http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=25528&atid=384601
+
+
+
+13. Installing Claws Mail from CVS

+
+ a. Downloading

+ to and type the following information:
+
+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@sunsite.dk:/pack/anoncvs login
+
+ The password is cvs
+
+ After logging in:
+
+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@sunsite.dk:/pack/anoncvs co -r gtk2 sylpheedclaws/claws-mail
+
