[Evolution-hackers] Status report
I haven't been so good about writing a weekly status report... ugh. Since I don't feel like figuring out when the last time I wrote a status report was, and because I have plenty of stuff to say for this past week, I won't bother with previous weeks. Just check the ChangeLogs :-) Here's what I did this past week: Spent a lot of time purifying, plugging memory leaks and fixing bugs here and there. Among the various bugs fixed: #22328 - crash when closing a message-browser before it had a chance to render the message #23635 - remove Delivered-To headers when redirecting a message so that QMail doesn't get confused. #23583 - handle broken multipart/signed parts that decided to add extra mime parts to the multipart/signed after the signature part. ie, don't assume that the last part is the application/pgp-signature. - Made it so that the sensitiveness of the advanced settings of the signature editor corresponded to the Advanced Options checkbox. - Fixed the Score is ... filter xml so that is was actually is and not less-than #23676 - Allow boundary= rather than aborting the write_to_stream() causing a Failed to append message to file://blah/Inbox: success error. Since our parser can handle boundary=, so should the code that writes a multipart back out. Granted, this message was not a true multipart and so isn't a good example but whatever :-) - Fixed searching in a vFolder on solaris boxen which would crash because a vFolder's 'expression' was NULL. - Implemented camel_gethostbyaddr() to go side-by-side with camel_gethostbyname(). This uses another new function I wrote, e_gethostbyaddr() to wraps the system's gethostbyaddr_r() or else implemets it depending. This fixes CamelSmtpTransport::smtp_helo() function that was using gethostbyaddr() which is not a good idea in a threaded environment *sigh*. - Applied more MacOS X/Darwin patches. Among the memory leaks plugged: - after setting the data to be dd'd, free the temporary GByteArray. - unref the GdkGC used to make a colour icon thingy for the Labels submenu. - free the xev-format string. - several memory leaks fixed in the signature editor code. Among the memory corruption bugs fixed: - ref the prefs widget before passing off to the shell to display since we were unreffing it in the destroy callback. Other stuff: - Re-added the News editor gui code and made it so that --enable-nntp would build it. Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.

I can see how that would violate the principle of least surprise. :-) However, what if you parsed back from the end of the message to the last magic string, and then nuke from there to the end? Wouldn't that keep from nuking in-between message text? Of course, this needs to be an option which can be turned on and off at will. Oh, wait a second, you said that this was due to people putting the magic string (which is dash-dash-space -- , IIRC) in the middle of their messages. Well, that _is_ a problem. Hrmmm. Here are some options I thought of which might alleviate concerns on all sides. 1. Do the nuke-a-sig routine, but put that into a copy buffer, and have a compose menu item or icon which is replace removed text, to put it back in case of accident. 2. Make the nuke-a-sig routine be something the user has to do by hand in the compose buffer, with an icon or menu item or hot key. 3. When nuke-a-sig is run, only have it highlight the text to be removed. Then the user can click elsewhere in the body to leave it intact, or type a key (backspace/delete come to mind) to delete it. Is it possible to have non-contiguous highlight regions? If so, this option could highlight many copies of signatures, ready to be killed all at once. 4. When nuke-a-sig is run, start at the end of the message, and only read back n (user configurable?) lines to get to the delimiter. I don't know if any of those are feasable or not, but I think that nuke-a-sig would help to set this mail reader apart from other mail readers. I know that the first time I saw that happen (it might have even been in evolution), I thought, wow, that's cool, why doesn't everyone else do this? rob ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

[Evolution] Setting up Local Inbox
Hi, I'm new to using evolution, and it seems like a great improvement over my current mail/calendar combo. However, there is one thing that I can't quite figure out. It seems like evolution expects you to have a bunch of information on your local machine, in particular, an Inbox. Why is this? All my mail is stored remotely; I can set up an IMAP account, but is there anyway to either get rid of that Local Inbox, or better yet replace it with my imap box, or have it point to my imap box? This brings me to a second question, when I ran evolution for the first time I wasn't sure how much I would like it, so I didn't really spend any time thinking through the setup. I was wondering if I could have solved my problem if I had been more careful, so I tried looking for evolution config files to delete. Where are they?

You could simple click 'get mail' more often. On Fri, 2002-04-19 at 14:26, Ben FrantzDale wrote: Here's an idea. If people like it I'll put it into bugzilla. Motivation: My mail volume is irregular. When a mailing list dives into a busy thread, I can get a message a minute or more. Other times (like at 4AM) I get a message an hour. When traffic is high I find myself hitting send/recieve to see if there's new mail. Solution: Rather than having one frequency at which to check mail (eg: every 10 minutes), give evolution a lower and upper bound on mail-check frequency. Once evolution has downloaded mail, calculate the current message frequency: X messages per minute. Then check mail again in min(upper_bound,max(C*X, lower_bound)), where C is some constant. This would mean you'd predict to get C messages on the next check. The lower_bound would keep you from hammering your mail server and the upper bound would prevent it from going hours without checking. Disadvantage: It would make the dialog to control mail fetching frequency more complex. What do you think? Is this crazy or a decent idea? --Ben ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

But still, what I actually want to do with Evolution is to share calendar files. It doesn't seem to be possible to put a calendar file on the IMAP server :-) And we don't have Microsoft Exchange. I hope it's possible somehow. There is no reason to use IMAP for this. IMAP is optimized for handling email, and if you're not using email, it's not really much better than ftp. For instance, you want to be able to ask the server, tell me everything that's happening today so you can fill in today on the calendar. But since you may have recurring appointments, the server needs to understand the format of the data in your calendar. Since an IMAP server wouldn't, this means that every time you open the calendar, you need to download the entire contents to the client. Hence, no improvement over just ftp'ing your calendar around. And also, the IMAP code is entirely inside evolution-mail, and the calendar has no access to it. So you'd either have to have the mailer pass data back and forth to the calendar, or have the calendar also link against the imap code. And *then* you have to deal with the fact that some IMAP servers won't let you make multiple simultaneous connections. Overall, it's just not a win. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

[Evolution] Pilot Link Finally Working!
I've asked this list several times (probably more than 5) for help synching my pilot. After long last I got it working so I figured I'd explain what was going on. I got this IBM ThinkPad 600E in 1999. Pilot synch worked fine in Windows but never once in linux. When setting up the pilot in the control center, it would always act as though the serial cable were unpluged---I changed permissions, etc. but nothing. It turned out that the serial port was disabled. The only way to fix this is using a DOS program called ps2.exe which is available from IBM as part of a self-extracting EXE, uttcpdos.exe. I was able to use DOSemu to create a boot disk, extract uttcpdos.exe, and copy ps2.exe onto a floppy. Rebooting into DOS for real (not dosemu), running A:\ ps2 serial on then A:\ ps2 sera enable [sic] and then rebooting into Linux, everything just plian worked. Some of this stuff is speciffic to a family of ThinkPads, but in general, if your computer is acting like it's not connected to the pilot, hunt around (I recomend google groups) and see if your ports aren't disabled. --Ben signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: [Evolution] How to access IMAP folders not starting with INBOX?
Dan Winship [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: But still, what I actually want to do with Evolution is to share calendar files. It doesn't seem to be possible to put a calendar file on the IMAP server :-) And we don't have Microsoft Exchange. I hope it's possible somehow. There is no reason to use IMAP for this. IMAP is optimized for handling email, and if you're not using email, it's not really much better than ftp. Alright, alright. Just a feeble attempt at making a joke. kai -- Silence is foo! ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Wouldn't that keep from nuking in-between message text? Then again, nothing guarantees that the signature *does* contain the magic string... If the magic string doesn't exist in the email at all, then no signature (like yours) would be nuked. I could see the following heuristic working on your email: 1. search from end to beginning, is there a -- ? no 2. what is the name of the author? Tuomas Kuosmanen 3. Search backwards, can we find either part or all of this name (Tuomas, Kuosmanen, or Tuomas Kuosmanen) on one line all alone? yes 4. Highlight from the character following this string to the end of the message, asking the user if this is the signature, and if they want to remove it. yes 5. store this string - - - in the address book with your entry as your preferred signature string, so whenever an email comes in from you, check for - - - right after checking for -- in the future. :-) rob ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

That's what I was saying... :-) As far as configure or not, here is an impossible thought. Have an advanced sigsnip option, which will pipe it through an app (local command). Then all of us can go crazy with whatever sigsnipping we want in whatever algorithm wanted. Then we can post these apps here on this list, and they might even find their way into the contrib evolution stuff. shrug rob PS.
