I think this is exactly the tool you want.  

It's funny, right?  Sylpheed is written in C, but its import function is
too slow, so you wrote in Perl!?  Or was it simply that by using a
separate process you could keep using Sylpheed?  

incm is one 644-line C module.  

N.B. Hiro, incm has a BSD license.  Perhaps Yasunari Momoi <momo <at> bug.org>
wouldn't mind seeing incm become part of Sylpheed?  

I use nmh whenever I get stuck.  It has an "inc" utility that does the
same thing.  

If I could offer one suggestion to the good documentation folks, it would
be to add a "Sylpheed friends & resources" page somewhere, listing

I've read the source of incm, and it seems that it basically does the
similar things as Sylpheed (except for some workarounds and filtering).

[sylpheed:19886] Multipart/alternative

Hi,

When I receive an HTML mail composed by images and other objects, it appairs as a "Multipart/alternative" object.
It is possibile to watch the entire mail? I can watch the Text/HTML but in this way I cannot see the images and
the other objects.

Sorry for my bad English language

Thanks

Hi Andrea

You have to set it up so that sylpheed will open your internet browser.

Go to "Configuration" -> Common Preferences and click on the "Other" tab
(you will have to click several times on the arrows at the end of the
visible tabs to make "Other" appear.

Where is says "Web browser" enter the command to make your web browser
read the eamil eg. opera -newpage %s will start opera in a new page. 

Hope this helps 

Keith

it is currently not possible to correctly render HTML mail that refers
attached images/resources.  Even the Claws version, with its upcoming Dillo
plugin is not be able to render it.

Thanks to you and Keith.

Setting the Web browser as Keith explains, I can watch the mail in the specified browser, but I cannot see
images attacched to the mail.

Do you know if this operation will be implemented in a next version?

[sylpheed:19891] saving 'attached' files, not in MIME format

Hi,

I have to save files which are part of the email, and generated by a similar script at the sender's side:

uuencode file.in file.in > file.out
mail -s "some header" my_email < file.out

Is there a way to 'teach' Sylpheed to identify this as an attachment and enable to 'save as file.in' ?
What I do now, is save the email into a file named 'some_file', then run the 'uudecode some_file' command.

I appreciate any idea!

AFAIK, no one is working on it. In the far future I may get interested in
thinking about adding this, but it will be on Claws and using the Dillo plugin.

Anyway, anyone is allowed to submit patches...

You could use "Actions" to launch external programs that do whatever you want
with selected messages. For uuencoded mails, see the Actions page at:

http://melvin.hadasht.free.fr/home/sylpheed/actions/

But natively Sylpheed does not recognize those formats. Using Actions + xdeview
is quite User Friendly.
