Hi there -

I'm trying to use the RSSyl plugin for Claws to read RSS feeds, and I've got it working for the most part, but for some reason it doesn't want to show the RSS posts in HTML formatting, which kinda bites for feeds like Engadget. I've got the appropriate plugins loaded in Claws, so I'm clueless as to why I can't get HTML rendering working. Is there some setting in the preferences to activate HTML rendering?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's the Gtkhtml2 HTML Viewer plugin, and from the Claws homepage, it looks like it's supposed to allow Claws to display both HTML formatted e-mails and HTML formatted RSS feeds. I have it installed and loaded in Claws, but no joy with either HTML formatted e-mails or RSS feeds displaying as HTML, they just display as plain old text.

Not sure what I did wrong. Does anyone have this working properly?

Thanks.

You can either click on the HTML part at the right of the message view, or set in Configuration/Preferences, Text options: "Render HTML-only messages with plugin if possible". That should make HTML display automatic.

Yes, that does the trick nicely. now for another question... it would be nice if I could mark multiple RSS posts (using the little multi-select button in the upper-right) and then view only those entries using Next/Back buttons. Is this possible? I haven't been able to figure out if this is possible, so currently I have to keep returning to the posts listing to pick only the posts I want to read.

On a related note, is there any documentation anywhere describing what each of the buttons in Claws does? I love Claws, but it's kind of a crapshoot figuring out what all those tiny little buttons functions are. I tried turning on the button labels, but the N800 screen doesn't handle the Claws interface gracefully when the button labels are being displayed.

It used to be that if you clicked next to the button and drag it on it, a tooltip would pop up with a short description. But maybe that was a 2007os feature..

That doesn't appear to work anymore with OS2008.
