<title>What are the differences between Claws Mail and Sylpheed?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Claws Mail is a fork of Sylpheed, therefore you will find that
|
|
it has all the features that Sylpheed has and a lot more besides.
|
|
It also includes some modified dialogues to enhance usability.
|

<title>Does Claws Mail allow me to write HTML styled messages?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
No. A discussion has gone on around this topic, and the outcome was that
|
|
HTML mail is not wanted. If you really need to send HTML, you can of
|
|
course attach a webpage to an email.

<title>Does Claws Mail support Return Receipts?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Yes.
|
|
To request a Return Receipt use <quote>Options/Request Return
|
|
Receipt</quote> in the Compose window. When you receive a message that
|
|
requests a Return Receipt a notification area is shown just above the
|
|
message view. You can either use the <quote>Send receipt</quote> button,
|
|
or ignore the request - no receipts are sent automatically.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you do not ever want to send Return Receipts then you can use the
|
|
option <quote>Never send Return Receipts</quote> in the
|
|
<quote>Configuration/Preferences/Mail Handling/Sending</quote> page.

<title>How can I make Claws Mail notify me when new mail

|
arrives?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Go to <quote>Configuration/Preferences</quote>, in the <quote>Mail
|
|
Handling/Receiving</quote> section, use the settings for <quote>Run
|
|
command</quote> in the <quote>After receiving new mail</quote>
|
|
frame. Alternatively, use the Trayicon plugin.

|
<title>Why are special characters (e.g. umlauts) not displayed
|
|
correctly?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In most cases, this is caused by emails with broken encodings. You can
|
|
try to force it using the <quote>View/Character Encoding</quote>
|
|
submenu.
