+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This perl script will import a Becky, Thunderbird, Kmail, Gmail and
+ Fox Mail address book.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+ (You must run claws-mail at least once before running this script.)
+
+ Becky >= 2.41
+ -------------
+ In Becky you need to do a CSV full export with titles of your
+ address book.
+
+ Run the script with the following options:
+
+ perl csv2addressbook.pl --type=becky --csv=/full/path/to/file.csv
+
+ Addtionally you can use the option '--name="My address book"', if
+ you don't use this option the new Claws address book will be
+ called 'Becky address book'.
+
+
+ Thunderbird >= 2.0.0.6
+ ----------------------
+ In Thunderbird you need to export your address book as 'comma
+ separated'.
+
+ Run the script with the following options:
+
+ perl csv2addressbook.pl --type=thunderbird --csv=/full/path/to/file.csv
+
+ Addtionally you can use the option '--name="My address book"', if
+ you don't use this option the new Claws address book will be
+ called 'Thunderbird address book'.
+
+ Kmail >= 1.9.7 / Kaddressbook >= 3.5.7
+ --------------------------------------
+ In Kaddressbook you need to export your address book as 'CSV List'.
+
+ Run the script with the following options:
+
+ perl csv2addressbook.pl --type=kmail --csv=/full/path/to/file.csv
+
+ Addtionally you can use the option '--name="My address book"', if
+ you don't use this option the new Claws address book will be
+ called 'Kmail address book'.
+
+ WARNING: Kmail/Kaddressbook has a bug whereby it exports badly
+ formatted CSV if the values are quoted.
+
+ Gmail
+ -----
+ In the Gmail web interface you need to export your address book
+ as Outlook CSV format.
+
+ Run the script with the following options:
+
+ perl csv2addressbook.pl --type=gmail --csv=/full/path/to/file.csv
+
+ Addtionally you can use the option '--name="My address book"', if
+ you don't use this option the new Claws address book will be
+ called 'gmail address book'.
+
+ Fox Mail
+ --------
+ Export your Fox Mail address book as CSV with all possible headers.
+
+ Run the script with the following options:
+
+ perl csv2addressbook.pl --type=foxmail --csv=/full/path/to/file.csv
+
+ Addtionally you can use the option '--name="My address book"', if
+ you don't use this option the new Claws address book will be

-* fix-date.sh
+* fix_date.sh
- WHAT IT DOES
- It will replace the Date: value w/ the one picked up from
- more recent Received: field if this field resides in one
- line. Otherwise, it will take the file modification time
- (using a RFC 2822-compliant form). If no X-Original-Date already
- exist, the former Date value will be set in such field.
+ Add a 'Date:' header to the selected email(s) when such header is
+ missing. The correct date is guessed from other headers that
+ contain timestamp information (preferred: Fetchinfo header if found)
+ or from the file or system date as a fallback. The order or
+ preference for the date value replacement can be changed by editing
+ the script.
- HOW TO USE IT
- fix_date.sh <filename> [<filename>..]
+ This script can be used to fix messages that show non RFC-compliant
+ Date headers as well.
- Contact: wwp <wwp@claws-mail.org>
+ 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.
+
+ WORKS ON: selected message(s)
+
+ COMMAND: fix_date.sh %F
