The interface is also -designed to emulate the mailers on Emacsen, and almost all commands are -accessible with the keyboard. - -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 user-friendly and intuitive interface - o 3-paned view like many Windoze-based mail client - o ability of keyboard-only operation - o Mew/Wanderlust-like key bind (most of normally used keys have been - implemented) - o multipart MIME - o built-in image view - o X-Face support - o external editor support - o unlimited multiple account handling - o message queueing - o filtering - o draft message function - o line-wrapping - o XML-based address book - o APOP support - o unread message management - o multiple MH folder support - o integrated NetNews client - o IPv6 support - o GnuPG support (currently implementing) - o multithread support (experimental) - o mbox importing - o drag & drop (partially implemented) - o fast thread display - o high-speed message processing - o lightweight resource usage - o easily customizable configuration - o supports automake + autoconf, and internationalization of message - by gettext - o IMAP4 support (currently implementing) - -You'll figure out the usage if you have used a mailer on Windows, or -Mew or Wanderlust. - -Installation -============ - -See INSTALL for installation instructions. - -Usage -===== - -How to run ----------- - -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. - -Required settings ------------------ - -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: +Summary: - http://sylpheed.good-day.net/ + 1.

What is Sylpheed-Claws? +-------------------------- -Feedback -======== +Sylpheed-Claws 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. -Comments, ideas and (most of all) bug reports (and especially patches) are -very welcome. +Sylpheed-Claws is free software distributed under the GNU GPL. -Anonymous cvs -============= +To run Sylpheed-Claws use 'sylpheed-claws' on the command line. -You can get the newest source code with the anonymous cvs. +When sylpheed-claws is executed for the first time a configuration +'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information necesary +to create a new account. -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. +2. Plugins +---------- -To update to the newest source tree, run the command: +Sylpheed-Claws' 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/sylpheed-claws/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, + + o PGP/inline + Handles inline PGP signed and/or encrypted mails.

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.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://claws.sylpheed.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 Sylpheed-Claws. + For example, Sylpheed-Claws 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 Sylpheed-Claws + 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". Sylpheed-Claws 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 + ~/.sylpheed-claws/actionsrc file (exit Sylpheed-Claws 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://claws.sylpheed.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 Sylpheed-Claws 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 Sylpheed-Claws 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 "sylpheed-claws" + + 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 +----------------- - 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 "Sylpheed-Claws 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. + + + + +9.
