[Bug 673520] Re: Evolution is the default for opening .eml files but it fails to do so
An ugly workaround that will search take the first From: line inside the .eml, write it to the top of the .eml and remove the colon, and then start evolution on it. To use it, save this script to your computer and associate .eml files with it. Evolution should be fixed, so this is NOT a fix, but a cheap workaround. ** Attachment added: "Workaround, NOT a fix." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/673520/+attachment/2258479/+files/evohack.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673520 Title: Evolution is the default for opening .eml files but it fails to do so To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/673520/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 673520] Re: Evolution is the default for opening .eml files but it fails to do so
This annoys me a lot too. Along with .MSG (some proprietary format) not being opened so easily. But that's another story. Interestingly, if I take a mail and save it as mbox, some things can be noted: The first line must be: >From sender-addr...@example.com bla bla blah, and further down this line MUST appear: From: sender-addr...@example.com bla bla Subject: something bla bla NOTE, the first line MUST be "From " /without/ a colon, and later on the "From: " /with/ a colon MUST appear for evolution to be able to import the message. I say "import" because it's the closest I get. The message isn't just *displayed*, as in thunderbird. It's IMPORTED into evolution. Can't say if that's good or bad. Breaks what I expected. On the other hand, it's probably the best way to store mails. But my company drag and drop mails back and forth from disk to Outlook, so I'd like to make the same possible in Evolution. Not in the mood for discussing if it's good or bad - they just want it, and it's working out great for them. But either evolution is bad on /requiring/ these lines in the .eml, or the spec is bad. Anyway I think Evolution should be hacked to deal with [slightly] malformed .eml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673520 Title: Evolution is the default for opening .eml files but it fails to do so To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/673520/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
