- <P>You can choose to compile Sylpheed with some optional features enabled.

- <P>The following optional features can be enabled:</P>
- <P>
- <UL>
- <LI><I>Jpilot</I>: to use you PDA addressbook with Sylpheed. You will
- need the <I>Jpilot</I> library (and <I>pilot-link</I>, too).
- Enable this option with the <I>--enable-jpilot</I> configure switch.</LI>
- <LI><I>GnuPG</I>: Sylpheed can encrypt and sign your messages (also decrypt
- and verify the signatures of the incoming messages) using GnuPG.
- GnuPG follows the OpenPGP standard and is compatible with PGP.
- To enable this feature, you need to install GnuPG and GPGME (interface
- library to GnuPG).
- Enable this option with the <I>--enable-gpgme</I> configure switch.</LI>
- <LI><I>LDAP</I>: Sylpheed can connect to a LDAP server in order to
- query mail addresses. To enable this feature you will need the
- OpenLDAP library.
- Enable this option with the <I>--enable-ldap</I> configure switch.</LI>
- <LI><I>X-Faces</I>: you can create a small picture (of your face, or
- of anything else) that will be sent in the header of your mails.
- This option is enabled if the compface library is found and
- can be disabled using the <I>--disable-compface</I> configure switch.</LI>
- <LI>Images can appear "inline" (embedded in the message window, without
- the need of an external viewer) if Sylpheed is compiled
- with either the <I>gdk-pixbuf</I> or the <I>imlib</I> library.
- You can choose the library (if both are installed) by using the
- <I>--disable-gdk-pixbuf</I> or <I>--disable-imlib</I> configure switch.</LI>
- </UL>
- </P>
- <P>All these features require additional libraries and tools that may not be part
- of your distribution. You can find them at the addresses listed at the beginning
