Two things I can't do in Sylpheed: S/MIME (with the Aegypten patch),
and more importantly, it can process Japanese and European character
sets at the same time. That said, I'd be more than happy if someone
could explain to me how to set my locale and stuff to do the latter in
Sylpheed, too. These days I'm getting a much higher percentage of German
and French mails than before, and restarting the client everytime I do
isn't very practical.
