Dillo is +also run in the fullwindow mode, where the toolbar, menubar and the +status bar are hidden so the message is viewed in a larger area. The +fullwindow mode is toggled on and off by double clicking in an empty +part of the page or by clicking on the icon in the lower right corner. + +The "safe" viewing the text/html message part is achieved by using the +-l (or --local) option of Dillo. This option prevent Dillo from +retrieving remote web resources, like images. This way, no connection +to the Internet is done. If the user want to view the message without +this restriction, s/he just reloads the page by clicking on the +"Reload" button in Dillo's toolbar. + +This plugin is provided as is. The author does not guarantee safe +viewing of text/html messages although he tried hard to achieve this +goal. + +What Dillo version should be used? +---------------------------------- + +Dillo 0.7.0 was the first version that included the features needed by +Claws, although it had a small bug where remote resources could be +accessed even with the --local option (when a BASE element is present +in the message). + +Since 2002-03-16, the CVS tree of Dillo fixed that bug. + +Dillo 0.7.2 and newer do not have that bug, and are the recommended +versions to be used. + +Acknowledgment: +--------------- + +The author of this plugin thanks the author of Dillo, Jorge Arellano +Cid, who accepted to integrate and improve the different patches +needed for this functionality. + +-- +Melvin Hadasht -- 2.25.1
