  15. <H2><A NAME="ss3.1">3.1 Q01 How do I make Sylpheed display my language?</A>
  16. </H2>
  17. <P>A. You have to set some environment variables such as
  18. <CODE>LANG,LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES</CODE> to your local language.
  19. Usually <CODE>LANG</CODE> (or <CODE>LC_ALL</CODE>) is sufficient.
  20. <H2><A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 Q02 I don't like the default font. Can I change that?</A>
  21. </H2>
  22. <P>A. Yes. In Configuration&gt;common preferences under the
  23. "Display" tab.
  24. <H2><A NAME="ss3.3">3.3 Q03 There are too many columns in the message list!!</A>
  25. </H2>
  26. <P>A. In Configuration&gt;common preferences under the
  27. "Display" tab you can press the button "Set display
  28. item of summary". That pops up a screen with all the
  29. options you can show or leave out of the message
  30. list.
  31. <H2><A NAME="ss3.4">3.4 Q04 Can I use a different editor to write my mails?</A>
  32. </H2>
  33. <P>A. You can. In Configuration&gt;common preferences under
  34. the "Other" tab you can define your editor of choice.
  35. Remember, if you want to use a command line editor
  36. like vi or emacs, to write the name of the shell
  37. (term, term, rxvt) with the -e parameter in front of
  38. the editor. E.g.: <CODE>rxvt -e vi %s</CODE>
  39. <H2><A NAME="ss3.5">3.5 Q05 How to change the font size in the Sylpheed interface?</A>
  40. </H2>
  41. <P>A. You can set the GTK+ font by <CODE>~/.gtkrc</CODE>, or
  42. <CODE>~/.gtkrc.mine</CODE>,
  43. (which is included by <CODE>~/.gtkrc</CODE>).
  44. For example:
  45. <CODE>style "default"
  46. {
  47. font =
  48. "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
  49. "
  50. }
  51. widget_class "*" style "default"</CODE>
  52. <H2><A NAME="ss3.6">3.6 Q06 Sylpheed saves my outgoing mail (in Outbox). Can I make it stop doing that?</A>
  53. </H2>
  54. <P>A. In Configuration&gt;common preferences there's a
  55. checkbox "Save sent message to outbox". Uncheck it,
  56. and it's solved.
  57. <H2><A NAME="ss3.7">3.7 Q07 How can I change the key-bindings (hot-keys) in Sylpheed?</A>
  58. </H2>
  59. <P>A. That is very simple. Suppose you want to assign a
  60. shortcut key to a function, e.g. sending all mail
  61. out should start when you press Ctrl-Y. Click the
  62. Message' menu and move the mouse over "Send all
  63. messages". Now you press Ctrl-Y. Immediately the menu
  64. text is updated and the function is in place. Please
  65. note that a previous function that Ctrl-Y was
  66. assigned to, will no longer have a shortcut key. If
  67. you want to remove the key binding, do the same
  68. thing, but press the "delete" key on the menu-item.
  69. Then the key binding is removed.
  70. <H2><A NAME="ss3.8">3.8 Q08 Can I close windows without the mouse?</A>
  71. </H2>
  72. <P>A. Of course!! Not all windows, but by pressing ESCape,
  73. you can close the addressbook, the window of viewing
  74. a mail-source (message&gt;view source), the window of
  75. viewing the headers, and several others. Just give
  76. it a try and you will find all of them.
  77. <H2><A NAME="ss3.9">3.9 Q09 Can I change the way the date is displayed in the message summary?</A>
  78. </H2>
  79. <P>A. As of 0.4.65 you can. The options are:
  80. %y = year in numbers %m = month in number
  81. %d = day in numbers %c = date/time for locale
  82. %A = full weekday name %a = short month name
  83. %B = full month name %b = short month name
  84. %H = hours in 24-clock %I = hours in 12-clock
  85. For more information go to the configuration menu,
  86. select Common preferences / Display and move the
  87. mouse cursor over the input box for the date display
  88. format.
  89. <H2><A NAME="ss3.10">3.10 Q10 Why can't I see the compface pictures?</A>
  90. </H2>
  91. <P>A. You need to enable displaying of the header pane in the
  92. general preferences
  93. <H2><A NAME="ss3.11">3.11 Q11 I still can't see the pictures. Why not?</A>
  94. </H2>
  95. <P>A. You may not have compiled in Compface support. See Q11
  96. in the Installation/Configuration section.
  97. <H2><A NAME="ss3.12">3.12 Q12 Why does the URL Launcher not launch my webbrowser?</A>
  98. </H2>
  99. <P>A. You need to double-click the url.
  100. <H2><A NAME="ss3.13">3.13 Q13 Attachments with spaces in the name won't open!</A>
  101. </H2>
  102. <P>A. When you try to launch a helper application, like an image viewer, with an attachment that has spaces in the name, put quotes around the %s
  103. parameter. Example: gedit '%s'
