Hmmm. Ok, I'm trying to understand the concerns here. Now, obviously, you'd want to use the (new) sender's outgoing address -- we are not talking about forging a message. What we're basically talking about is like an inline forward, only without including the headers, and with the destination filled in with the original destination (and no "[Fwd:]" prepended to the subject). You can accomplish mostly the same thing by dropping a copy of the message into the Drafts folder and bringing it up, or cut and pasting (and saving/reattaching the attachments) (although the latter may lose formatting). Would you have an objection to doing any of these things as well? I guess I'm still not understanding why it is "wrong" to use a message you've received from someone else as a template for a new message, especially when it's not hard to do without "Edit As New", just more inconvenient. > - evolution's composer is not capable of handling > all mime structures > (it's an impossible task) Ok, that sounds like a fairly compelling reason. I can understand that someone might have decided a while ago, "We don't have the resources to handle this properly in all cases, therefore we will only edit messages which we composed" (although, there is the hole of copying a message to the drafts folder). Maybe I just need to make sure Evolution gracefully ignores mime types it can't handle. > also, there exists an option > Actions->Forward->Redirect for at least > some of the needs you brought up. Yeah but it won't let you change it, which, in many cases, is the whole point. Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
