Well, here is some relevant information on the API changes from
0.3.x to 0.4.x (which 1.x is said to be mostly compatible with)

http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2003-July/020255.html

This doesn't sound like as if it would be possible to make it
work without a pretty good insight on both the sylpheed code
and the gpgme stuff. Whoever has that level of insight may be
able to fix (or rather port) it to gpgme 1.x within a day or
two but that's not me... But as a user I'd say it would be
pretty nice to fix that before sylpheed-1.0.0 goes final as
the gpgme 0.3.x API it is using seems to be totally obsoleted
since more than a year now...

[sylpheed:23640] Need metamail (with security fix, if poss.) for Red Hat 9.0


My Red Hat 9.0 system could not display certain attachments 
and I was hoping that the log under Tools->LogWindow would 
give somes clues, but it appears it's just to log sending
and receiving of mail.  It would be nice to log other types
of errors like XFMail (Sorry if it's there.. I couldn't find it).

I noticed these messages coming out in the window in which
I started Sylpheed:

   execvp: No such file or directory
   execvp: No such file or directory

So I ran "strace" on the running Sylpheed process and found it's trying
to exec metamail to display these attachments.  (BTW, if we can't
have an error logger, it would be nice to at least printf the name
of the file it failed to exec)

It turns out my Red Hat 9.0 system did not come with metamail.
Apparently the Red Hat people decided to drop it after RH 7.3.

So I embarked on hours of web searching to find "metamail replacement"
and the like hoping to download that and create a script called 
"metamail" that would run the replacement for metamail.  No luck there.

Next, I looked for metamail sources hoping to compile metamail
for Red Hat 9.  I noticed discussion in several places about
two format string and two buffer overflow vulnerabilities 
discovered in metamail by Ulf Harnhammar.  These are in
versions up to and including 2.7.

Metamail is also missing on Mac OS X. I asked the Fink people about
adding it once (explaining why Fink's Sylpheed package needed it), and
the reply was rather negative, ending with "sleepyhead should consider
finding a better way of doing things." :-\

	Get the metamail sources for 2.7 from bellcore and the patch by
Ulf Harnhammar from

http://downloads.securityfocus.com/vulnerabilities/patches/metamail.patch

[sylpheed:23643] External spam-filter

Hello,

how can I tell sylpheed to invoke an external spam filter prior to
downloading mail? I want to use mailfilter, which removes spam from a
pop-account.

Regards,

Boris

I've also recognized the problem, so I'll remove the dependency to
metamail and replace it by another implementation in the future version.

This 2.7 metamail is really old.
It needs some work to build on Red Hat 9.0
When you #define LINUX in config.h it turns on SYSV:

    #ifdef LINUX
    #define SYSV /* Linux is SysV */
    #endif

Then you get syntax errors in signal.h and string.h 
caused by these macros that define killpg and bcopy:

	Is there any plan to include proper support for reading inline
encrypted messages?  It seems odd that these can be written by sylpheed
but not read with using external tools which have the problems of not
remembering passwords etc.

Compiles and runs fine on Solaris 9 with gcc 3.4.2.

Thanks a lot!
