It's been *years* since I used sylpheed but for some strange reason I
recall their main repository being in Japan rather than part of Fedora?
I could be wrong or it may have moved.

Your patch works very well on i386 4.4-STABLE. I'll test some more it
against CURRENT after this weekend. I'll be at the meetBSD con all
day both tomorrow and Sunday.
There is also one annoying and unrelated bug that I'll try to resolve:
Configuration->Common Preferences->Details->Interface
X Remember last selected message.
The "Open first unread message when a folder is opened" is unchecked
and for some reason disabled, but none the less, this is what it does.
The "remember" option works as long as sylpheed is running, but it fails
to work across restarts. This means every time you switch folders, it
mistakenly marks messages read.
