* eud2gc.py
WHAT IT DOES
This python-script is a quick hack to convert an Eudora (v.3?) addressbook
to vCard (GnomeCard) format.
HOW TO USE IT
You may do whatever you want with it! (Also regarding copying)
However, the script is intended to use like this:
eud2gc.py <Eudora-addressbook-file> <Gnomecard-file>
Be careful not to overwrite your original GnomeCard.gcrd!
(But of course you might want to add the converted stuff to it)

* filter_conv.pl
WHAT IT DOES
This perl script provides easy conversion of your filtering rules
form sylpheed's old filter system to the new filtering system used
in sylpheed-claws. It reads '~/.sylpheed/filterrc' and outputs
'~/.sylpheed/filteringrc'.
Your old filter settings are preserved, if you want to go back to
the original filter system simply delete ~/.sylpheed/filteringrc
HOW TO USE IT
Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
perl filter_conv.pl
That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your
previous rules applied.

* gif2xface.pl
WHAT IT DOES
This perl script converts a monochrome (1 bit) 48x48 pixels GIF file
into an X-Face graphic suitable for inclusion into custom headers of
Sylpheed. An X-Face allows to quickly identify (or be identified as)
the sender of a mail message in a xface-capable MUA (like sylpheed).
HOW TO USE IT
After obtaining the desired image for your X-Face you should:
* scale it to 48x48 pixels (Image->Scale image on Gimp)
* down color depth to b/w (Image->Mode->Indexed selecting "Use
Black/White palette" and the desired dithering options (prior to
indexing doing Image->Colors->Threshold allows you to select the
b/w level if you don't want a dithered (dotty) image))
* save file as non-interlaced GIF
Then do:
./gif2xface < filename.gif > filename.xface
In filename.xface will be the X-Face header ready to use.
You can add a custom header in Sylpheed through Configuration->
Preferences per account, "Send" tab, check "Add user-defined header"
then "Edit..." if you want to add it via Sylpheed interface, or do
echo "0:" `cat filename.xface` > ~/.sylpheed/customheaderrc
if you want to create the custom headers file yourself (Warning: this
method is valid only if you don't have any other custom header set or
they will be lost!).

* ldif-to-xml.py
WHAT IT DOES
This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
the sylpheed xml format.
HOW TO USE IT
Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
From the command line, execute:
./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
Either way a file called addressbook.xml will be generated in the current
directory. This xml file should be merged with or simply placed in the
$HOME/.sylpheed directory.
