After spending much of today fleshing out my contacts section of evolution, the following observations came up;
1. Within the "contacts" it is possible to sent email to the contact that is open. Being that evolution is a fine email program this makes sense. But for quite a number of contacts I have also typed in their WWW address, so why can not evolution call up the default browser from within the contacts area of evolution? Evolution is destined to be a primary PIM for many people (possibly their only information manager), why not allow a significant piece of that information to be accessed from within evolution? For example if someone has a number of contacts in their suppler category, then while reviewing their category listing in evolution it would also be possible to check the suppliers website. Bookmarks in a browser are a separate information listing and not synchronized with evolution. One way to manage the information is to allow for browser access from evolution email OR contacts. 2. "Contacts" has two very useful tools to help manage the information namely "contact lists" and "categories". Can they be used together so that a contact list can be tagged to be included in certain categories. Right now tagging an individual contact and its associated email addresses to a specific category or three is very easy. How about allowing a contact list, with its email addresses, being similarly tagged to categories. For example. A category called the "XYZ Corporation" may have a number of names and email addresses, but that number of names will be smaller than the entire contact section of evolution. A contact list may have the names of the Board of Directors of XYZ Corp, or the accounting group of XYZ, or a group of golfing buddies from the XYZ Corp. I would like to be able to have evolution recognize these three contact lists as being in the category XYZ Corp. This would be very useful rather than having to scroll through the entire contact section of evolution to find a contact list. If necessary I guess this could be considered a feature request / proposal. Alternatively perhaps someone could tell me where they already exist within evolution. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
