* 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 'filterrc' and outputs 'filteringrc'.
HOW TO USE IT
Move 'filter_conv.pl' to the $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
From the $HOME/.sylpheed directory, issue the command:
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.
