💖 claws-mail-fancy-plugin(7) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Claws Mail manual page for claws-mail-fancy-plugin — yes she's a section 7 girly, we love that for her ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

claws-mail-fancy-plugin — HTML rendering of mails using WebKit library

like… she makes your emails look pretty. that's the whole job. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-fancy-plugin. just briefly bestie, she's not gonna write a whole novel, we keep it cute and concise 🎀

Real talk tho: this manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so Debian said "fine, i'll do it myself" and we have to respect that level of main character energy 👑

claws-mail-fancy-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. a loadable module, as in, she doesn't just show up — you have to invite her. she's a guest star, not a series regular 🦋

and what does she actually do?? This plugin enables viewing HTML mails (and HTML attachments) within the Claws Mail message window using the GTK port of the WebKit library. so all those HTML mails and HTML attachments that would otherwise be a vibe-killing wall of raw markup? yeah. rendered. beautifully. inside the Claws Mail message window. courtesy of the GTK port of WebKit. iconic behavior, no notes 🔥

🫶 USAGE 🫶

Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. she is NOT auto-loading herself, that would be presumptuous of her. you gotta tell her she's wanted 😭

For this you must go "Configuration" menu on main window toolbar, open "Plugins..." dialog, click on the "Load plugin..." button and select the plugin file, named fancy.so, and press the "Open" button.

so like, the whole little journey:

  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 fancy.so
  5. press the "Open" button

five steps, one slay, and boom — fancy is loaded 💖
