Package: sylpheed-doc
Version: 20030309-1
Severity: normal


Reading here:

    file:///usr/share/doc/sylpheed-doc/FAQ/en/sylpheed-faq-1.html#ss1.30

...it says:

    1.30 C30 How does selective download work?

    A. There are two ways using it.

    1. Manually: Open "Tools/Selective download" and choose "Fetch" to retrieve 
the mail headers. Afterwards, select the mails to delete and pres the remove 
button.

    2. Automatic: Create a -global- filtering rule to delete mails on server. 
If you then choose "Selective download", all mails that conform to this rule 
are marked for deletion.

    Note: By default, selective download only retrieves new (unread) messages. 
If you want to process the read mails also, you need to set "retrieve all 
messages". 

...but on my system the 'Tools' menu doesn't have a 'Selective
download'.  Attached is a screen capture of my 'Tools' menu.

It's unclear from that if 'sylpheed' is missing an item in the 'Tools'
menu, or if the FAQ is wrong.  And how does one do selective downloads?

Hope this helps...
