Can I change that? + + + + Yes. In Configuration->common preferences under the + "Display" tab. + + + + + + +Q03 There are too many columns in the message list!! + + + + In Configuration->common preferences under the + "Display" tab you can press the button "Set display + item of summary". That pops up a screen with all the + options you can show or leave out of the message + list. + + + + + + +Q04 Can I use a different editor to write my mails? + + + + You can. In Configuration->common preferences under + the "Other" tab you can define your editor of choice. + Remember, if you want to use a command line editor + like vi or emacs, to write the name of the shell + (term, term, rxvt) with the -e parameter in front of + the editor. E.g.: rxvt -e vi %s + + + + + + +Q05 How to change the font size in the Sylpheed interface? + + + + You can set the GTK+ font by $HOME/.gtkrc, or + $HOME/.gtkrc.mine, + (which is included by $HOME/.gtkrc). + For example: + style "default" { font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 " } widget_class "*" style "default" + + + + + + +Q06 Sylpheed saves my outgoing mail (in Outbox). Can I make it stop doing that? + + + + In Configuration->common preferences there's a + checkbox "Save sent message to outbox". Uncheck it, + and it's solved. + + + + + + +Q07 How can I change the key-bindings (hot-keys) in Sylpheed? + + + + That is very simple. Suppose you want to assign a + shortcut key to a function, e.g. sending all mail + out should start when you press Ctrl-Y. Click the + Message' menu and move the mouse over "Send all + messages". Now you press Ctrl-Y. Immediately the menu + text is updated and the function is in place. Please + note that a previous function that Ctrl-Y was + assigned to, will no longer have a shortcut key. If + you want to remove the key binding, do the same + thing, but press the "delete" key on the menu-item. + Then the key binding is removed. + + + + + + +Q08 Can I close windows without the mouse? + + + + Of course!! Not all windows, but by pressing ESCape, + you can close the addressbook, the window of viewing + a mail-source (message->view source), the window of + viewing the headers, and several others. Just give + it a try and you will find all of them. + + + + + + +Q09 Can I change the way the date is displayed in the message summary? + + + + As of 0.4.65 you can. The options are: + %y = year in numbers %m = month in number + %d = day in numbers %c = date/time for locale + %A = full weekday name %a = short month name + %B = full month name %b = short month name + %H = hours in 24-clock %I = hours in 12-clock + For more information go to the configuration menu, + select Common preferences / Display and move the + mouse cursor over the input box for the date display + format. + + + + + + +Q10 Why can't I see the compface pictures? + + + + You need to enable displaying of the header pane in the + general preferences + + + + + + +Q11 I still can't see the pictures. Why not? + + + + You may not have compiled in Compface support. See Q11 + in the Installation/Configuration section. + + + + + + +Q12 Why does the URL Launcher not launch my webbrowser? + + + + You need to double-click the url. + + + + + + +Q13 Attachments with spaces in the name won't open! + + + + When you try to launch a helper application, like an image viewer, with an attachment that has spaces in the name, put quotes around the %s +parameter. Example: gedit '%s' + + + + + + +Q14. Where is the Bcc when I compose a mail? + + + + Open Configuration -> Preferences for current account -> Compose. There you can check the Bcc checkbox and optionally enter an e-mail address. + + + + + + \ No newline at end of file -- cgit
