+** multiwebsearch.pl **
WHAT IT DOES
+ This is an Actions script that allows you to search
+ websites for the selected text. It uses the default
+ Sylpheed browser as configured through Sylpheed's
+ GUI and specified in ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc, 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 ~/.sylpheed/
+
+ 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
- This perl script imports mbox files that are exported by Calypso.
- It recreates the folder structure by scanning the "X-CalypsoFolder"
- header and reincludes the attachments referenced in the
- "X-CalypsoHtmlBody" "X-CalypsoAccount" "X-Attachment" headers.

+Address book conversion
+-----------------------
+
+* 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:
- Export the Calypso mailbox by selecting "Save to archive" and check
- the "Save attachments" box.
- Edit the script to set following variables (at the top of the file):
- $mboxdir : path to the exported mbox, e.g. 'Archive' or '.'
- $mboxfile : name of exported mbox, e.g. 'mail.txt'
- $outdir : name of the MH folder to create, e.g. 'Calypso'
- Run the script using
- perl calypso_convert.pl
- Finally, import that folder by either selecting "New mailbox" or
- moving it into your existing directory and recreate the folder
- structure manually (contentmenu from folderview).
+ eud2gc.py <Eudora-addressbook-file> <Gnomecard-file>
- Any questions, comments or problems, contact Thorsten Maerz <torte@netztorte.de>

-* eud2gc.py
+* kmail2sylpheed.pl
WHAT IT DOES
-
- This python-script is a quick hack to convert an Eudora (v.3?) addressbook
- to vCard (GnomeCard) format.
+ This perl script will convert an exported Kmail addressbook into a
+ Sylpheed addressbook. If your version of Kmail is 1.37 or greater
+ and/or your version of KAddressBook is 3.1beta1 or greater, or
+ this script mixes up your definitions and their related data, use
+ 'kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl' instead.
HOW TO USE IT
+ (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
- You may do whatever you want with it! (Also regarding copying)
+ In Kmail's Address book choose '/File/Export List'. This will export
+ your Kmail address book data to a *.csv file.
- However, the script is intended to use like this:
+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
- eud2gc.py <Eudora-addressbook-file> <Gnomecard-file>
+ From the command line, execute the following:
+
+ perl kmail2sylpheed.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
- Be careful not to overwrite your original GnomeCard.gcrd!
- (But of course you might want to add the converted stuff to it)
+ Your Kmail address book data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
+ address book, under the name 'Kmail Address Book'.

+* kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl
-* filter_conv.pl
+ This script has been tested with Kmail 1.4.7 and KAddressBook 3.1beta1
WHAT IT DOES
+ This perl script will convert a Kmail address book that has been
+ exported in csv format into a Sylpheed address book.
- 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 '~/.sylpheed/filterrc' and outputs
- '~/.sylpheed/matcherrc'.
-
HOW TO USE IT
+ (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
+
+ Open Kmail's Addressbook, /File/Address Book
+ In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export/Export List...'. This
+ will allow you to export your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
- Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
- perl filter_conv.pl
+ From the command line, execute the following:
+
+ perl kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
+
+ You can also use --help to see usage instructions.
- That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your
- previous rules applied.
+ Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
+ addressbook, under the name 'Kmail address book'.

-* gif2xface.pl
+* outlook2sylpheed.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).
+ This perl script converts an Outlook generated contact list into a
+ Sylpheed XML address book.
HOW TO USE IT
+ For text files:
+ --------------
+ You must export Outlook Express contact list as TXT file, choosing
+ only "Name" and "Address" fields to export.
- 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:
+ You must exit Sylpheed before converting the contact list.
- ./gif2xface < filename.gif > filename.xface
+ From the command line, execute the following:
- 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
+ outlook2sylpheed.pl fullpathname
- echo "0:" `cat filename.xface` > ~/.sylpheed/customheaderrc
+ For csv files:
+ -------------
+ You must export Outlook contact list as CSV file, choosing ALL the
+ fields available for exporting.
- 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!).
+ You must exit Sylpheed before converting the contact list.
- Any problems, contact Ricardo Mones Lastra <mones@aic.uniovi.es>
+ From the command line, execute the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ outlook2sylpheed.pl --csv fullpathname
-* kmail2sylpheed.pl
+ LIMITATIONS
+ For text files only works with fields described above. If you have
+ more complex examples send them to me, and I'll try to enhance the
+ script.
- WHAT IT DOES
+ For csv files you must export all fields (but only non empty fields
+ are added to the created Sylpheed address book) and the number of
+ fields expected is harcoded. Look for the $nboffields variable in
+ the script and change its value if you are sure you exported all
+ fields and script gives the 'unknown csv file format' error.
- This perl script will convert an exported Kmail addressbook into a
- Sylpheed addressbook.
+ Contact: Ricardo Mones Lastra <mones@aic.uniovi.es>

-* newscache_clean.pl
- WHAT IT DOES AND WHY IT DOES IT
+* vcard2xml.py
- This perl script cleans up in '$HOME/.sylpheed/newscache'. Currently
- the newscache becomes littered with old directories and files - when
- you subscribe to a newsgroup a sub-directory gets created for it in
- ~/.sylpheed/newscache/[nntpserver], should you unsubscribe from the
- group the sub-directory does not get deleted. Until this is done
- internally this script will take care of some tidying up.
-
- This script removes directory trees of nntp servers that you no longer
- have an account for. Where an account exists it removes directories
- and files of those groups to which you are no longer subscribed.
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This python script will convert an Evolution vCard into a Sylpheed
+ address book.
HOW TO USE IT
+ (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
- Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
-
- perl newscache_clean.pl
-
- This script uses the File::Path module, if you don't already have it
- installed, you can find it at the CPAN search site <http://search.cpan.org>
+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
+ From the command line, execute the following:
- Any questions, comments or problems, contact Paul <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk>
+ vcard2xml.py source_file [destination_file]
+
+ When only <source_file> is specified it will overwrite (and
+ create a backup of) the existing addressbook.
+ When both arguments are suplied it will create a new additional
+ addressbook named as <destination_file>.
+ If the script encounters an error it will attempt to roll back
+ the changes and restore the original files.
