+         Mails are stored in the MH mailfile format as used by MH
+         and EMH. Maildir and mbox format are not (yet)

+    <answer>
+      <para>
+         No. A discussion has gone around over 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 e-mail. Several patches have been made to
+         facilitate better HTML handling in Sylpheed. You can
+         find these patches at the Sylpheed Patch Page (see

+    </question>
+    <answer>
+      <para>
+         Yes. When you search for a name that starts with "<tt>don</tt>",
+         type "<tt>don</tt>" (without the quotes) and press the TAB key.
+         This will show you the correct name (when only one "don"
+         exists in your addressbook. Otherwise a dropdown list
+         appears, which allows you to select the name you want.
+         E.g. Donald Duck, Don Johnson. But also e-mail addresses
+         starting with "<tt>don</tt>" will appear in the list (like
+         "<tt>don.giovanni@maffia.org</tt>").

+      <para>
+         If ISO-8859-1 characters (>= 0x80) are not used in the

+    <question id="faq-word-wrap-sylpheed">
+      <para>
+         Why does it look like word wrap is not working?
+      </para>
+    </question>
+    <answer>
+      <para>
+         Word wrapping is a bit peculiar perhaps. You can type
+         lines as long as you like. By the time you send or queue
+         a mail with long lines, Sylpheed will first wrap the
+         lines to the line length you set up, and then the mail
+         is queued. This is more convenient than you think. Once
+         a line is wrapped (hard line breaks are inserted in the
+         text) and you add something in a line there, the next
+         line will move to a separate new line, leaving one or
+         two words from the previous line "hanging there" alone.
+         E.g.
+        <verb>
+           This is a long line that
+           is wrapped.
+        </verb>
+     
+        Now you add one word in the first line:
+        <verb>
+           This is a very long line
+           that
+           is wrapped
+        </verb>
+
+        This would cause you a lot of manual reformatting to get
+        a presentable mail again.
+
+        Note: As of Sylpheed 0.8.0., active wordwrap has been
+        implemented. You can turn it on in Common 
+        Preferences->Compose->wrap on input.

+    <answer>
+      <para>
+         If one wishes to use gvim as an external editor it's

+         in the configuration dialog box you need to enter  
+         "gvim -f %s". If not the editor forks and open up a 
+         separate file and when one quits the editor the changes
+         are lost and don't show up in the composer window.

+    </question>
+    <answer>
+      <para>
+         "Filter setting" is the traditional one with less options. 
+          The "Filtering" option is new in sylpheed-claws and more 
+          powerful and may replace the  old option in the future.
+          Tip: To convert your old filter rules into the new format, 
+          you can use the "filter_conv.pl" script, that can be found 
+          in "tools" subdirectory from sylphed-claws sources.
