  90. new, unread and total number of messages
  91. Additonal plugins can be found here:
  92. http://www.sylpheed-claws.net/plugins.php
  93. 3. Actions
  94. ----------
  95. The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
  96. commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
  97. just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
  98. filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
  99. the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
  100. actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Sylpheed-Claws.
  101. For example, Sylpheed-Claws does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
  102. popular in some newsgroups. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
  103. all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
  104. provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
  105. a. Usage
  106. --------
  107. To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
  108. Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
  109. command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
  110. By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
  111. The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Sylpheed-Claws
  112. stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
  113. following syntax for the command:
  114. * %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
  115. than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
  116. the appropriate file name
  117. * %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
  118. one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
  119. are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
  120. list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
  121. then the command will be launched for each selected message with
  122. the name of this message and with the list of all selected
  123. messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
  124. * %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
  125. The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
  126. message, it denotes the message body.
  127. * Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
  128. input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
  129. * Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
  130. input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
  131. contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
  132. entering passwords).
  133. * Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
  134. That means "fire and forget". Sylpheed-Claws won't wait for the
  135. command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
  136. messages.
  137. * Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
  138. displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
  139. or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
  140. will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
  141. * Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
  142. displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
  143. or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
  144. will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
  145. Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
  146. compose window.
  147. When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Sylpheed will
  148. be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
  149. finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
  150. window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
  151. the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
  152. when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
  153. being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
  154. from the outputs of the others.
  155. a. Examples
  156. -----------
  157. Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
  158. storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
  159. ~/.sylpheed-claws/actionsrc file (exit Sylpheed-Claws before). The syntax
  160. is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
  161. and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
  162. Purpose: rot13 cyphering
  163. Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
  164. Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
  165. (selected) text in the message/compose view.
  166. Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
  167. Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
  168. Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
  169. multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
  170. Purpose: Display uuencoded image
  171. Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
  172. Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
  173. the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
  174. Purpose: Alter messages
  175. Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
  176. Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
  177. unneeded message parts, etc.
  178. Purpose: Pretty format
  179. Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
  180. Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
  181. very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
  182. text. Used when composing a message
  183. Purpose: Browse
  184. Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
  185. Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
  186. Purpose: Clear Sign
  187. Definition: GnuPG/Clear Sign: |gpg-sign-syl|
  188. Details: Clear sign a message. The gpg-sign-syl[2] script is responsible
  189. for asking the passphrase and for running gnupg.
  190. Purpose: Verify Clear Signed
  191. Definition: GnuPG/Verify: |gpg --no-tty --verify
  192. Details: Verify clear signed messages. The result is displayed in the
  193. actions output dialog.
  194. Purpose: Decrypt ASCII Armored
  195. Definition: GnuPG/Decrypt: *gpg --no-tty --command-fd 0 --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt %f|
  196. Details: Decrypt ASCII armored messages. The passphrase is entered
  197. into the opened action's input dialog.
  198. [1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
  199. distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
  200. latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
  201. standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
  202. instead of standard input.
  203. [2] The gpg-sign-syl script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
  204. distribution package.
  205. 4. Icon Themes
  206. --------------
  207. Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
  208. downloaded from http://www.sylpheed-claws.net/themes.php
  209. You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
  210. directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
  211. to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
  212. This interface can also be used to install new themes.
  213. 5. Spell Checking
  214. -----------------
  215. a. Requirements
  216. b. Configuration and installation
  217. c. Usage
  218. d. Known problems
  219. a. Requirements
  220. ---------------
  221. The spell checker in Sylpheed-Claws requires the GNU/aspell library
  222. (http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
  223. You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
  224. to download and install them.
  225. NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.
  226. b. Configuring Claws
  227. --------------------
  228. Spell checking is enabled automatically if the aspell executable is
  229. found. If it is in unusual places, use '--with-aspell-prefix' to state
  230. the path to the aspell executable. E.g., if aspell's full path is
  231. /foo/bar/bin/aspell, then use:
  232. ./configure --with-aspell-prefix=/foo/bar
  233. The '--with-aspell-prefix=PREFIX' option will let the configure
  234. script search for includes and libraries in PREFIX/include and PREFIX/lib.
  235. You can also manually specify the includes and libraries path by using
  236. either following options:
  237. --with-aspell-includes=/foo/bar/include
  238. and/or
  239. --with-aspell-libs=/rab/oof/lib
  240. as appropriate.
  241. The configure script summarizes the options compiled in. Check that
  242. it lists 'GNU/aspell = yes'.
  243. Then proceed as usual, with 'make' and 'make install'.
  244. c. Usage
  245. --------
  246. After successful compiling, you need to tell Sylpheed-Claws where your
  247. dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it, but in
  248. case it did not, run 'aspell config dict-dir' on the shell to get the
  249. path to the dictionaries.
  250. Then run Sylpheed and go to /Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Spell Checking.
  251. Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and use the directory selector to select
  252. the path where the dictionaries reside. Within the file selector, go to that
  253. directory and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK. Then, you should
  254. be able to select your default dictionary.
  255. When composing, misspelled words are highlighted. Click on any
  256. highlighted word with the right mouse button to get a list of
  257. suggestions. The first entry of the menu just displays the unknown
  258. word. Selecting 'Accept in this session' (or hitting MOD1-Space,
  259. where MOD1 is usually the ALT key) will ignore this word and accept
  260. it in this message. Selecting the next entry, "Add to dictionary", which
  261. is bound to MOD1-Enter combination, will add the unknown word to your
  262. personal dictionary to learn it. The next entries are the suggested words.
  263. The first 15 suggestions can be accessed by typing one of the first letters
  264. of Latin alphabet (if this does not suit your language, please send
  265. a mail to melvin.hadasht@free.fr). Aspell has a 'learn from mistake'
  266. function that can be used by pressing the MOD1 key and selecting the
  267. suggestion (with the keyboard or with the mouse). See GNU/aspell manual
  268. §6.3 for an explanation of this feature (also called 'replacement storing').
  269. If you click with the right mouse button everywhere else, or if you
  270. shift-right-click even on a misspelled word, you get the
  271. configuration menu. 'Check all' highlights all misspelled words.
  272. With this menu, you can also change the dictionary while editing.
  273. Finally, you can change the suggestion mode, and the learn from
  274. misktakes feature.
  275. Spell checking can also be done using keyboard shortcuts. In the
  276. 'Edit' menu of the compose window, there are two menus 'Check backwards
  277. misspelled word' and 'Forward to next misspelled word'. Add to them
  278. appropriate keyboard shortcuts. 'Check backwards misspelled word'
  279. checks backwards from cursor position for the first misspelled word.
  280. If it finds one, it displays the suggestions lists which can be handled
  281. with the keyboard as described before. When the suggestion menu is
  282. closed, the cursor returns to its original position to be able to
  283. continue editing. The 'Forward to next misspelled word' do the same
  284. thing in the other direction but moves the cursor at the end of the
  285. misspelled word. This way, you can spell check easily a whole message
  286. starting from its beginning and using the 'Forward to next misspelled
  287. word' keyboard short cut.
  288. 6. Quick Search with extended search
  289. ------------------------------------
  290. Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
  291. enables searching through folder's messages.
  292. Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
  293. have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
  294. Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
  295. Search type extended allows one to use Sylpheed's powerful
  296. filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
  297. from regexpcase "foo"
  298. subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "sylpheed-claws"
  299. Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
  300. powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
  301. immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
  302. Pattern Parameter Selects
  303. ----------------------------------------------------

  348. 7. Custom toolbar
  349. -----------------
  350. /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
  351. toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
  352. an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
  353. from are predefined. You can also have your "Sylpheed-Claws Actions"
  354. (refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
  355. Example:
  356. * Configuration->Actions
  357. - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
  358. * Configuration->Custom toolbar
  359. - select Sylpheed Actions Feature
  360. - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
  361. - choose an icon and click ok
  362. 8. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
  363. ------------------------------------
  364. Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
  365. Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
  366. messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
  367. informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
  368. message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
  369. download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
  370. download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
  371. retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
  372. deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
  373. as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
  374. If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
  375. it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
  376. Trash folder has been emptied.
  377. 9. Hidden options
  378. -----------------
  379. allow_jisx0201_kana (default: 0)

  381. 0: off 1: on
  382. bold_unread (default: 1)
  383. show unread messages using bold font in summary view
  384. 0: off 1: on
  385. cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
  386. the maximum kB of memory sylpheed should use.
  387. It will try to keep the memory usage below this

  389. amount of memory for speed gain.
  390. cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
  391. the minimum time in minutes sylpheed will keep
  392. the folder cache in memory. If a cache is more
  393. recent than this time it will not be freed even
  394. if the memory usage is above the maximum. You
  395. should probably set this value higher than your
  396. mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will
  397. always be freed between checks even if the folder
  398. is accessed on every check, which will cause much
  399. disk IO.
  400. compose_no_markup (default: 0)
  401. prevent italic and bold text in the Compose dialog
  402. account selector
  403. 0: normal (markup) 1: no markup

  410. enable_swap_from (default: 0)
  411. display sender's email address in To column in Sent
  412. folder instead of recipient's
  413. 0: off 1: on
  414. folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
  415. specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
  416. 0: always 1: automatic 2: never
  417. hover_timeout (default: 500)
  418. time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to
  419. expand during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held
  420. over it
  421. statusbar_update_step (default: 10)
  422. update stepping in progress bars
  423. textview_cursor_visible (default: 0)
  424. display the cursor in the message view
  425. 0: off 1: on
  426. thread_by_subject_max_age (default: 10)
  427. number of days to include a message in a thread when using
  428. 'Thread using subject in addition to standard headers'

  513. ---------------------
  514. You are encourged to send patches via the Sylpheed-Claws sourceforge
  515. project's Patch Tracker.
  516. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=384600&group_id=25528&func=browse
  517. If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
  518. <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk> or consider posting to the
  519. Sylpheed-Claws-users mailing list.
  520. http://www.sylpheed-claws.net/MLs.php
  521. Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
  522. http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/sylpheed-claws/bugzilla/index.cgi
  523. Of course, you can also post to the Sylpheed-Claws-users mailing list.
  524. Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
  525. don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
  526. a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
  527. <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk>. We can probably arrange access to the
  528. Sylpheed-Claws CVS tree.
  529. 12. How to request features
  530. ---------------------------
  531. Ask around in Sylpheed-Claws-users ML. Note that some developers may
  532. have already thought about your feature, may,perhaps, be implementing it,
  533. or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
  534. You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
  535. cool!) Another possibility is to use the Feature Request Tracker at the
  536. sourceforge project.
  537. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=25528&atid=384601
