Moreover, the Sylpheed-claws-gtk2 help has links that are broken - they refer to non-existent pages. There does not appear to be any help available through the program itself, which INMSHO is also a bug.

It should perhaps also be mentioned that version 2.9.1 contains a fix for CVE-2007-1558 (see <http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=687586>). Sounds somewhat serious, although I don't know how serious this is in practice; however, as I'd really like to have an updated claws-mail for my ubuntu (later releases also contain some very nice new features and lesser bug fixes), I figured it couldn't hurt to point this out. (I'm aware of the unofficial packages, but these doesn't work on amd64).
