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

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

  380. 0: off 1: on
  381. bold_unread (default: 1)
  382. show unread messages using bold font in summary view
  383. 0: off 1: on
  384. cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
  385. the maximum kB of memory sylpheed should use.
  386. It will try to keep the memory usage below this

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

  409. enable_swap_from (default: 0)
  410. display sender's email address in To column in Sent
  411. folder instead of recipient's
  412. 0: off 1: on
  413. folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
  414. specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
  415. 0: always 1: automatic 2: never
  416. hover_timeout (default: 500)
  417. time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to
  418. expand during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held
  419. over it
  420. statusbar_update_step (default: 10)
  421. update stepping in progress bars

  423. display the cursor in the message view
  424. 0: off 1: on
  425. thread_by_subject_max_age (default: 10)
  426. number of days to include a message in a thread when using
  427. 'Thread using subject in addition to standard headers'

  511. 11. How to contribute
  512. ---------------------
  513. You are encourged to send patches via the Sylpheed-Claws sourceforge
  514. project's Patch Tracker.
  515. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=384600&group_id=25528&func=browse
  516. If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
  517. <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk> or consider posting to the
  518. Sylpheed-Claws-users mailing list.
  519. http://www.sylpheed-claws.net/MLs.php
  520. Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
  521. http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/sylpheed-claws/bugzilla/index.cgi
  522. Of course, you can also post to the Sylpheed-Claws-users mailing list.
  523. Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
  524. don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
  525. a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
  526. <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk>. We can probably arrange access to the
  527. Sylpheed-Claws CVS tree.
  528. 12. How to request features
  529. ---------------------------
  530. Ask around in Sylpheed-Claws-users ML. Note that some developers may
  531. have already thought about your feature, may,perhaps, be implementing it,
  532. or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
  533. You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
  534. cool!) Another possibility is to use the Feature Request Tracker at the
  535. sourceforge project.
  536. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=25528&atid=384601
