		SYLPHEED-CLAWS  RELEASE NOTES
                 <http://claws.sylpheed.org>

This release of sylpheed-claws is based on version 0.8.9 of 
the main Sylpheed branch.

Notes for this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SpamAssassin plugins. Sylpheed-Claws now has a plugin
mechanism. The first two plugins available are SpamAssassin
and SpamAssassin GTK. The SpamAssassin plugin uses the spamd
SpamAssassin server to check a POP account for spam mail,
when a message is identified as spam it can be deleted or
saved to a designated folder. The SpamAssassin GTK plugin
provides a GUI for configuring the SpamAssassin plugin.

To enable the SpamAssassin plugins build with the folllowing
./configure option: '--enable-spamassassin-plugin'. 
To use the plugins you will need to load them: Go to 
'/Configuration/Plugins' and click 'Load plugin', then select
the plugin: 
SpamAssassin: 
	$PREFIX/lib/sylpheed/plugins/spamassassin.so
SpamAssassin GTK: 
	$PREFIX/lib/sylpheed/plugins/spamassassin_gtk.so
To configure the SpamAssassin plugin go to the new 
Preferences window, '/Configuration/Other Preferences',
and select /Filtering/SpamAssassin.
