💖 CLAWS-MAIL-DILLO-VIEWER 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for claws-mail-dillo-viewer in section 7 of the Claws Mail manual set — yes girl, a whole page just for this one little plugin, we love to see it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-dillo-viewer — display HTML message parts using Dillo browser

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this page is the quick lil rundown of the claws-mail-dillo-viewer package. That's it, that's the briefing. 💅

Fun fact: this manpage exists specifically for the Debian distribution, because the original program never shipped with a manual page of its own. So Debian said "fine, I'll do it myself" and we got this. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

claws-mail-dillo-viewer is a plugin — aka a loadable module — for the Claws Mail mailer. Think of it as an accessory that snaps onto the app. 👑

What does it actually do? It lets you view HTML messages with the Dillo browser embedded right there in the message view. No tab-hopping, no launching a whole separate browser, it's all just vibing inside your mail. ✨

And by default, no remote URLs are retrieved — that's the safe-browsing setup, and ngl, she's looking out for you. 🔒

🦋 USAGE 🦋

Before you can use any plugin, you gotta tell Claws Mail to load it on startup. It's not gonna read your mind, bestie. 😭

Here's the whole quest, step by step:

  1. Go to the “Configuration” menu on the main window toolbar.
  2. Open the “Plugins...” dialog.
  3. Click the “Load plugin...” button.
  4. Select the plugin file, named dillo.so.
  5. Press the “Open” button. 🎉

And that's it. Slay. 💅
