62 To request a Return Receipt use <quote>Options/Request Return

65 message view. You can either use the <quote>Send receipt</quote> button,
66 or ignore the request - no receipts are sent automatically.
69 If you do not ever want to send Return Receipts then you can use the
70 option <quote>Never send Return Receipts</quote> in the
71 <quote>Configuration/Preferences/Mail Handling/Sending</quote> page.
74 <title>How can I make Claws Mail notify me when new mail
77 Go to <quote>Configuration/Preferences</quote>, in the <quote>Mail
78 Handling/Receiving</quote> section, use the settings for <quote>Run
79 command</quote> in the <quote>After receiving new mail</quote>
80 frame. Alternatively, use the Trayicon plugin.
83 <title>Why are special characters (e.g. umlauts) not displayed

87 try to force it using the <quote>View/Character Encoding</quote>
