Thanks for the reply.  The issue is likely related to the fact that I
did not use the version of Sylpheed in the 8.10 repositories.  (When I
tried that it wanted to install Claws as well and I didn't want to go
down that road.)  I used a .deb I had made earlier on my then Hardy
8.04 system from the source code downloaded from the Sylpheed web
site.
