    In the address book, accessible through Shift-Ctrl-A, +the Addressbook button, or through the "Tools" menu, you +store e-mail addresses of the people and places you want +to write more often. +

    11.1 Adding and Deleting Addresses

    -

    Adding an address to the address book is quite easy too. Rightclick the folder or group you want to add the address to, select "new address" and fill in the dialog that comes up. You can also directly click the Add button in the address book window, and the dialog comes up. In this case the address is moved into the folder/group that is selected at the moment of adding. -

    Deleting an address is equally simple. Find the address, click it once, and press the Delete button. +

    +

    +

    +

    In the "Basic data" tab, you can fill the first +and last name and provide a nickname. The "Display name" +will be used by the "Name" column of the address book +window. +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    In the "E-Mail address" tab, fill the address field +and use the "Add" button to add the address to the list. +An alias can also be assigned to this address and used +when searching for an address. +Several addresses can be assigned to the same person +in your address book by repeating the sequence described +above. The addresses can then be sorted by using the +"Move up" and "Move down" buttons. The address on the top +will be the first one listed in the address book main window. +

    +

    Deleting an address is equally simple. Find the address, +click it once, and press the Delete button.

    11.2 Folders and Groups

    -

    The address book, like the mail folders, can be expanded into an entire tree of sections. For this you right-click on the folder where you want to add a new folder, and select "new folder". Then you can enter a descriptive name for the folder, click Ok, and your folder is created. -

    In this same way you can create a new group in a folder. Right-click on the folder, select "new group", enter a name for it, and that's it. +

    You can use groups and folders to organize your address +book into categories, hierarchies and aliases. +The folders are used to generate a hierarchical organization +and contain the actual addresses, while the groups are +used to group together addresses that lives in separate +folders. +

    Sounds complicated, so let's see an example: consider +your workmates, they are arnaud (arnaud@company.com), +sandra (sandra@company.com), xavier (xavier@company.com) +and the chief, helene (helene@company.com). You can +create a folder named myGroup, create the entries +for all your workmates in this folder. Now you can create one +groupe named jokes that includes all but the boss +to use when sending your daily jokes, another one named +team that includes everybody for the usual group +(serious) communication, and a third group named +reports that includes the boss, and the one working +with you on some projects for the weekly reports. +

    To generate this kind of addresses organization +you only need to create the entries once, then when +creating groups you can select among the existing entries +to fill the groups. +

    The address book, like the mail folders, can be expanded +into an entire tree of sections. For this you right-click +on the folder where you want to add a new folder, and +select "new folder". Then you can enter a descriptive +name for the folder, click Ok, and your folder is created. +

    In this same way you can create a new group in a folder. +Right-click on the folder, select "new group", enter a name +for it, and that's it. +

    The group settings window pops up in order to fill the group +with addresses. Use the two arrows to add to or remove from +the group the selected address. +Once the group contains the list of addresses you want it to +contain, click the "OK" button to close the window. +

    +

    11.3 Combination with Message Composition Window

    -

    Open the address-book through one of the available ways (toolbar, shortcut key). -Finding an e-mail address: enter part of the start of the name or the address you are looking for and press the TAB key. A dropdown list will appear with the selections that have been found to match. Select one and press enter. After that you can use the To:, Cc: or Bcc: buttons to add the address to an e-mail, if you are writing one. Otherwise these buttons are greyed out and not functional. +

    You can either enter the first letters of an address +(or alias) in the To: or Cc: field +of the composition window and press the TAB key to +let Sylpheed do the completion or open the address book, +select addresses from there and use the To: +and Cc: buttons to copy the selected addresses +into the corresponding fields of the composition window. +

    When using the completion mode, when one or more address +matches the start you have entered, a dropdown list appears. +Select the correct address from this list and press enter +to complete the composition window's field. +

    In completion mode, the search is made on the E-mail +address and on the alias. The other fields of the +address book entry are not used (name, nickname,...). +

    When the address book is opened, if you select a group, +using the To: or Cc: buttons will +copy all the addresses of the selected group into the +corresponding field of the composition window. +

    Using our previous example, you can select the jokes +group when sending you morning jokes, and the reports +one when sending your weekly reports... +

    21. GNU Free Documentation License

    + +

    Version 1.1, March 2000 +

    Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA +Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies +of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. +

    21.1 PREAMBLE +

    + +

    The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, +or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to +assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, +with or without modifying it, either commercially or +noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the +author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not +being considered responsible for modifications made by +others. +

    This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that +derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the +same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which +is a copyleft license designed for free software. +

    We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals +for free software, because free software needs free documentation: +a free program should come with manuals providing the same +freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited +to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, +regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a +printed book. We recommend this License principally for works +whose purpose is instruction or reference. +

    21.2 APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS +

    + +

    This License applies to any manual or other work that +contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be +distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document", +below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the +public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". +

    A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work +containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied +verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. +

    A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter +section of the Document that deals exclusively with the +relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the +Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains +nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. +(For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of +mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) +The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with +the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, +philosophical, ethical or political position regarding +them. +

    The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections +whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, +in the notice that says that the Document is released under this +License. +

    The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that +are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the +notice that says that the Document is released under this +License. +

    A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a +machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification +is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed +and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text +editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs +or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that +is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic +translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text +formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format +whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent +modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not +"Transparent" is called "Opaque". +

    Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include +plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input +format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and +standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. +Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that +can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML +or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally +available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word +processors for output purposes only. +

    The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page +itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, +the material this License requires to appear in the title page. +For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, +"Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of +the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the +text. +

    21.3 VERBATIM COPYING +

    + +

    You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, +either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this +License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this +License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and +that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this +License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or +control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or +distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for +copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you +must also follow the conditions in section 3. +

    You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated +above, and you may publicly display copies. +

    21.4 COPYING IN QUANTITY +

    + +

    If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more +than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, +you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and +legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front +cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must +also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these +copies. The front cover must present the full title with all +words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add +other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes +limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the +Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim +copying in other respects. +

    If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to +fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit +reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto +adjacent pages. +

    If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document +numbering more than 100, you must either include a +machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or +state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible +computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy +of the Document, free of added material, which the general +network-using public has access to download anonymously at no +charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the +latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you +begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that +this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated +location until at least one year after the last time you +distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or +retailers) of that edition to the public. +

    It is requested, but not required, that you contact the +authors of the Document well before redistributing any large +number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an +updated version of the Document. +

    21.5 MODIFICATIONS +

    + +

    You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the +Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided +that you release the Modified Version under precisely this +License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the +Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the +Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, +you must do these things in the Modified Version: +

    +

    +

    +

    If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections +or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no +material copied from the Document, you may at your option +designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, +add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified +Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any +other section titles. +

    You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it +contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by +various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that +the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative +definition of a standard. +

    You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover +Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the +end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one +passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be +added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the +Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, +previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity +you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may +replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous +publisher that added the old one. +

    The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by +this License give permission to use their names for publicity for +or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. +

    21.6 COMBINING DOCUMENTS +

    + +

    You may combine the Document with other documents released +under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for +modified versions, provided that you include in the combination +all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, +unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your +combined work in its license notice. +

    The combined work need only contain one copy of this +License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced +with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with +the same name but different contents, make the title of each such +section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the +name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, +or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section +titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of +the combined work. +

    In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled +"History" in the various original documents, forming one section +entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled +"Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You +must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements." +

    21.7 COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS +

    + +

    You may make a collection consisting of the Document and +other documents released under this License, and replace the +individual copies of this License in the various documents with a +single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you +follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of +the documents in all other respects. +

    You may extract a single document from such a collection, +and distribute it individually under this License, provided you +insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and +follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim +copying of that document. +

    21.8 AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS +

    + +

    A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other +separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a +Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation +copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is +called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the +other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on +account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves +derivative works of the Document. +

    If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to +these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than +one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts +may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the +aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole +aggregate. +

    21.9 TRANSLATION +

    + +

    Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may +distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section +4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires +special permission from their copyright holders, but you may +include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition +to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may +include a translation of this License provided that you also +include the original English version of this License. In case of +a disagreement between the translation and the original English +version of this License, the original English version will +prevail. +

    21.10 TERMINATION +

    + +

    You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the +Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any +other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the +Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights +under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or +rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses +terminated so long as such parties remain in full +compliance. +

    21.11 FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE +

    + +

    The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised +versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. +Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present +version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or +concerns. See +http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. +

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing +version number. If the Document specifies that a particular +numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to +it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that specified version or of any later version that has +been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. +If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, +you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the +Free Software Foundation. +

    21.12 How to use this License for your documents +

    + +

    To use this License in a document you have written, include +a copy of the License in the document and put the following +copyright and license notices just after the title page: +

    Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document +under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 +or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; +with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the +Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. +A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU +Free Documentation License". +

    If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant +Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have +no Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of +"Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover +Texts. +

    If your document contains nontrivial examples of program +code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your +choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public +License, to permit their use in free software. +

    8.1 Reading a message +

    8.1 Using POP Reception Function in Sylpheed

    -

    Reading a message is quite simple. If you have the message pane within view, all you need to do is once click the message you want to read and it already appears in the message view. When you double-click the message, a separate window will open, showing you the message. You can close the opened window by pressing ESCape or clicking the 'close' button. -

    8.2 Viewing Multipart MIME (Attached Files) +

    Receiving messages from a POP server is very easy, once you set up Sylpheed the proper way. You can refer to the section "Setting up an account" on how to do this. +

    Once you are connected to the internet, or by another network that gives you access to the POP server, simply press the "Get new mail" button (or press Alt-I) and Sylpheed will connect to the server to fetch your new mail. Once this is retrieved, any filters you may have set up will be executed and then the folder pane will show you, marked in bold, which folder/mailbox contains new messages. +

    8.2 Using Other Programs such as fetchmail

    -

    When a message contains an attachment, you can have several options to view the information in that file. Sylpheed can be able, when compiled against the proper libraries, to display images "inline". This means you can click the name of the image and you can see it in the lower part of the message screen. -

    How do you see an attachment is in an e- mail? -

    This shows through an extra section that appears between the summary pane and the message view. In it you can see the separate parts of the e-mail. Sometimes you can't view the contents of an attachment directly. Then you can rightclick the name of the file and select "OPEN" from the appearing menu. If this does not work, it means that the extension of the file is not recognized through the directives in the mailcap file. In that case you can always use the "Save as..." option in the popup menu, save the file to disk and open the file with the proper program. -

    8.3 Extending and Closing Threads -

    - -

    Sylpheed offers the option to view messages in threads. Threads are no more than series of e-mails in a logical sequence. Suppose 15 people sent you a mail called "Re: bananas". You can't easily tell which one is the first and which one is the last in that sequence. -

    By activating threads (summary menu), Sylpheed will attempt to show the sequence of mails as they were written/sent from first to last. -

    To undo the threads view, you simply select the same menu option again and the e-mails are displayed in standard order again. -

    8.4 Message Operations (Moving, Deleting, etc.) -

    - -

    Sylpheed gives you many ways to manage your messages. You can move them to new mailboxes, or delete them. Through the message menu (see that section for more details) plenty of options are available to do with your e-mails what you want done. The advantage of moving messages to different mailboxes (also see Filtering for that, as described in the Configuration menu section) is that you keep an overview of your inbox. Suppose you are collecting e-mails in there of 8 different subjects. And you are looking for a specific one on a specific subject. That will give you a lot of work, trying to find the right message. Creating a new mail folder for each subject, and moving the messages to that new one, lifts a lot of work afterwards from your hands. -

    8.5 URL in a Message -

    - -

    At times you may find a URL in a message. A URL is a link to a website. Usually it is shown in the form "http://www.somewhere.something". -

    If you want to visit that website, you only need to double-click the URL, and the default webbrowser you set up (usually Netscape) will activate and load the website. -

    In the configuration options, Sylpheed has a color setting specific for URL's so you can spot a URL easily. +

    Although it is not within the scope of this manual, a bit of information on fetchmail or getmail. +

    You need to have either of these programs installed, and configured correctly. See the man pages/README files of the appropriate program on doing this. +

    After setting the program up, you can invoke it, either by hand or through CRON, to get your mail. The mail will usually be downloaded into /var/spool/mail/your_user_id. You can then tell Sylpheed, through an account that looks in your local unix mailbox, to get mail from there. For this you press the "Get mail" button, or press "Alt-I".

    Once you are connected to the internet, or by another network that gives you access to the POP server, simply press the "Get new mail" button (or press Alt-I) and Sylpheed will connect to the server to fetch your new mail. Once this is retrieved, any filters you may have set up will be executed and then the folder pane will show you, marked in bold, which folder/mailbox contains new messages. -

    9.2 Using Other Programs such as fetchmail +

    When you start writing a new message, you are presented a nice dialog in which you can enter all kinds of information. In the From: line you find a dropdown list. In there you can select the e-mail account you want to use as the sending account. +

    In the To: / Cc: / Bcc: part, you write the e-mail address of the receiver. You can enter several e-mail addresses, as long as they are separated by commas. An important utility here is the button "Address". When you click that, you see the address book. You can point at an address, click the "To:", "Cc:" or "Bcc:" button, and Sylpheed will place the address in the selected line. The Bcc: may be greyed out. In order to make that accessible, you need to add the Bcc: line to the message. You do that through the Message menu, and checking the Bcc option. +

    In the Subject line you enter a short descriptive text what your message will be about. +

    You can move between these lines by pressing TAB (to skip to the next line) and SHIFT-TAB (to go back up). When you press TAB in the last line, you will be moved to the message body. +

    Did you select a signature file in the settings for the active account, it will be in the message text already. You can now write your message. When you are done, you can click Send, Send later or Draft in the toolbar. Send attempts to send the message immediately. Send later will place it in the Send folder, and Draft will place it in the Draft folder. +

    9.2 Replying to a Message

    -

    Although it is not within the scope of this manual, a bit of information on fetchmail or getmail. -

    You need to have either of these programs installed, and configured correctly. See the man pages/README files of the appropriate program on doing this. -

    After setting the program up, you can invoke it, either by hand or through CRON, to get your mail. The mail will usually be downloaded into /var/spool/mail/your_user_id. You can then tell Sylpheed, through an account that looks in your local unix mailbox, to get mail from there. For this you press the "Get mail" button, or press "Alt-I". +

    To reply to a message, you use the "reply" function. In Sylpheed you activate this through either the "Reply" button, or by pressing Alt-R. +

    A new message window will be created, with the e-mail address of the recipient and the subject already set for you. Most of the things described in Composing a new message are also applicable to this window. +

    9.3 Replying to a Message with Quotation +

    + +

    If you want to have Sylpheed quote the text you are replying to, you need to go into the Configuration menu. There you select Common preferences, go to the Compose tab, and check the "Quote message when replying" box. There you can also edit the quotation mark (the mark put in front of each quoted line in the reply mail) and the reply attribution (which is placed in front of the reply text). +

    9.4 Forwarding Messages +

    + +

    Forwarding a message means: you send the entire message, including headers (Sender address, date sent etc.) on to someone else. For this you press the "Forward" button, or you press Ctrl-F. A new message window is created, containing the text of the selected message. You can then supply the name(s) of the recipient(s) of the message as in composing a new message, perhaps add a few lines of text to the message and send it on its way.
