+
+** multiwebsearch.pl **
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This is an Actions script that allows you to search
+ websites for the selected text. It uses the default
+ Claws Mail browser as configured through Claws Mail's
+ GUI and specified in ~/.claws-mail/clawsrc, and a
+ configuration file called multiwebsearch.conf.
+
+ CONFIGURATION
+ The configuration file takes the following format:
+
+ ALIAS|URL PART|URL PART
+
+ ALIAS is a user-defined name; the first URL PART is the
+ url before the search term; the second URL PART is
+ optional and contains the remaining part of the url which
+ comes after the search term. A sample configuration file
+ is included.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+ Copy 'multiwebsearch.conf' to ~/.claws-mail/
+
+ Configure an Action:
+ a) pre-configured website
+ Command: multiwebsearch.pl --where="google" --what="%s"
+ b) dynamic
+ Command: multiwebsearch.pl --where="%u" --what="%s"
+
+ In type a) "google" refers to one of the configured aliases,
+ this Action will always search the website referred to by
+ the alias "google".
+
+ In type b) you will be presented with a dialog box into
+ which you type one of your configured aliases

+ date valuereplacement can be changed by editing the script.
+ This script can be used to fix messages that show non RFC-compliant
+ Date headers as well.
+ X-Original-Date is always added too if not already existing (if so,
+ it's left untouched), to keep track of the original value if any.
+ An existing Date: header is not overwritten unless you use the --force
+ switch.
+ Non RFC-compliant dates can be overwritten using the --rfc switch. Use
+ --strict to use strict RFC matching patterns for date values in other
+ headers.

- 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))

+ HOW TO USE IT
+ popfile-link.sh <filename> [<filename>..]
+
- ./gif2xface < filename.gif > filename.xface
+ Contact: wwp <wwp@claws-mail.org>
- 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
+* textviewer.pl
- 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!).
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This script tries to recognise an attachment by using the 'file'
+ command and/or the file extension and then uses the available
+ utilities to make an effort to display it as text. For example
+ .doc antiword -w 72
+ .txt, .diff, .c, .h,
+ .ic. .ec, .cc, .sh,
+ .sed, .awk cat
+ .html txt2htm or text2html
+ .xls, .sxc, .csv xlscat -L

+ --tbird-file=PATH TO FILE The full path to the file to be converted
+ --mailbox-name=NAME The name of the Claws Mail mailbox
+ --account-name=NAME The name of the account to be used (optional)
+
+ --tbird-file must point to the Thunderbird filter file (msgFilterRules.dat)
+ that you want to convert, it must contain the full path to the file.
+ --mailbox-name should be given the name of your mailbox in Claws Mail, e.g.
+ if the top-level folder is 'Mailbox (MH)' then this option should be
+ 'Mailbox'.
+ --account-name is optional, only needed if you are creating account-specific
+ rules. This is the name of your account in Claws Mail, which should
+ correspond to an account that you had in Thunderbird, e.g. the acount whose
+ rules you are converting.
+
+ This script presumes that your folder hierarchy in Claws Mail matches the
+ one that you had in Thunderbird. If you used the tbird2claws.py script to
+ convert your Thunderbird mailbox, then the folder hierarchy should match.
+
+ If the Claws Mail filtering configuration file (matcherrc) does not exist,
+ the script will create it; if it does exist, the newly converted rules will
+ be appended to it.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
- the sylpheed xml format.
+Extra tools
+-----------
+
+* 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
+ Claws Mail. An X-Face allows to quickly identify (or be identified
+ as) the sender of a mail message in a xface-capable MUA (like Claws
+ Mail).
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
- Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
- From the command line, execute:
+ In filename.xface will be the X-Face header ready to use.
+ You can add a custom header in Claws Mail through Configuration->
+ Preferences per account, "Send" tab, check "Add user-defined header"
+ then "Edit..." if you want to add it via the Claws Mail interface, or do
- ./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ echo "0:" `cat filename.xface` > ~/.claws-mail/customheaderrc
- In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
+ 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!).
- python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ Contact: Ricardo Mones <ricardo@mones.org>
- 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 <rodrigo.senra@ic.unicamp.br>
+* update-po
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This script is a message catalog translator's tool, it updates the .po
+ files named on the command line.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+ This script needs to be copied to and run from the 'po' directory.
+
+ ./update-po lang.po lang2.po ...
+
+ to update one or more <yourlang>.po files from the sourcecode files
+ named in POTFILES.in. The old .po file is save in a .po.old file.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ For example, when you want to update fr.po, run ./update-po fr.po,
+ then edit fr.po to update your translation.
