claws-mail-python-plugin is a plugin — like, a loadable module — for the Claws Mail mailer. Yes, mail. Like email. It's giving retro but it ATE 💖

What does it actually do tho? It offers Python scripting access to Claws Mail 🐍🔥 And also?? There's a console for testing your scripts, and those scripts can be saved for later usage as new menu items under the “Tools” menu 👑 like you literally get your own menu items. obsessed.

🎀 USAGE 🎀

okay so before you can use a plugin at all, you must tell Claws Mail to load it on startup. It's not gonna do it by itself, it's not psychic bestie 😭

Here's the step-by-step, no cap:

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