[Evolution-hackers] Using Evolution code
Hi Evo hackers ! We are developing an IDE (http://anjuta.sf.net) and have run into space contraints with our About Box due to too many contributors ;-) We thought Evo's About box looks user-cool and suits our needs since it scrolls all the names. So, would you mind if we stole shell/e-shell-about-box.[ch] from your code ? Thanks a lot in advance. Rgds, Biswa. BTW, thanks for the great product !

[moving from evolution-patches to evolution-hackers] Giving the user a choice could work. We can't *just* autodetect based on the UTF8. In a string like The character for the word 'one' is U+4E00, the last character could be Japanese, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese (or even Korean sometimes?). Is there any way for the composer to know whether the user is using a Japanese or Chinese input method? (And are there separate traditional and simplified chinese input methods?)

So you just order the super-meta charsets last, so they wont be chosen for normal text, and maybe even special case them based on locale so utf8 is usually preffered.

Will Shift-JIS, euc-jp, or iso-2022-kr ever get chosen? For that matter, will the Chinese charsets ever get autodetected or will it always use the Japanese ones instead (at least for messages containing only reasonably common characters)? Also, does this patch address the issue that a message containing both Greek and Russian *can* be encoded in iso-2022, but *should* be encoded in UTF8? What problem exactly is this supposed to be solving? If you want to autodetect Asian charsets for people who aren't replying to an Asian-language message and don't have an Asian locale, I don't think this will work. Heuristics that might work are if it contains Korean characters (which are all in a certain range in Unicode), try EUC-KR, if it contains Japanese hiragana/katakana (likewise), try iso-2022-jp, and if it contains unihan characters but not kana, it's probably Chinese.

I don't think so, no. And what about cut+paste? If you paste characters from a Big5 web page, does the composer know that or does it only get UTF8? Again, no. It just gets UTF-8 afaik. Let me remind you that this is for header encoding, not necessarily meant for encoding message bodies. We already have code that works for message bodies in the composer. Granted, if we can come up with some logic that will allow the user some preference over what charset has a higher priority, etc - then maybe we can just use camel_charset_best() for the message bodies as well? It sounds like most of your arguments are based on the belief that this will be used for message bodies, which is not where I intended this to go necessarily (although it might simplify things if we could?). NotZed was thinking that maybe we could generate the charset map table at runtime based on some suer ordering of the charsets or at least allow the locale charset to have priority over the current charsets used in camel's charset table. The one thing I see as maybe a problem with this approach i that it seems some users are in an iso-8859-1 locale but want to be able to write japanese or whatever. Now what? For this particular message he'd probably want iso-2022-jp to have priority, whereas his locale is iso-8859-1 (and maybe even most of the time he'd prefer iso-8859-1 had priority). Okay, maybe this particular example is a bad one, lets pretend locale is some asian charset and he wants to compose sometimes in another asian charset. This is probably more complicated than the iso-8859-1/iso-2022-jp charset because iso-8859-1 is not a multibyte charset and obviously iso-8859-1 should always have priority over iso-2022-jp (for the sake of interoperability with a wider variety of mail clients). My guess is that order of preference will have to be something like: iso-8859-1 (no need to put this in the table) iso-8859-2 iso-8859-4 koi8-r koi8-u iso-8859-5 iso-8859-7 iso-8859-8 iso-8859-9 iso-8859-13 iso-8859-15 windows-cp1251 user-defined user-defined user-defined user-defined ... UTF-8 (no need for this to be in the table either) Now, what happens if a user chooses an 8bit charset? do we somehow re-prioritise? How can we? Maybe we should expand that table to include all the 8bit charsets that users are likely to care about (do we already have this? what charsets do we add if we don't?) and then make it so that user-defined charsets can only be multibyte charsets? Maybe I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be... I would just prefer to use a table like this rather than having to attempt to iconv() to a ton of different charsets like we do in the composer. It's just a very expensive proccess to have to do that. danw: question for you. You said that greek and russian could be expressed in iso-2022. But if russian and greek have a higher priority than iso-2022, then why would this be a problem? I'm guessing that you mean only if greek and russian text appear together. However, if they are expressed together and we do mistakenly detect them as iso-2022, then wouldn't they still decode back to greek and russian glyphs? Or would converting the greek/russian glyphs from UTF-8 to iso-2022 destroy it and produce garbage iso-2022 glyphs? If the resultant iso-2022 encoded string can be converted back to UTF-8 while still preserving the greek and russian chars, then does it really matter? No matter what we do, we run the risk of encoding it to the wrong charset. Even if we were to always check locale first etc, because it's possible that the user is replying to a message composed in a different/incompatable charset and so we wouldn't be able to encode to the user's locale. Anyways, the reason why this whole charset issue was brought up again is because we currently encode asian charsets in UTF-8 *always* in headers for outgoing messages. This is apparently a problem because very few mail clients (including Outlook 6 - which is part of Office 2002?!) still don't understand UTF-8.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Calling construct() multiply times?
Figured out why I kept getting called back into the construct() callback whenever I select a folder. In the connect() callback, I checked to see if service-url-port is 0, if so, set it to the port to the default port number. I did this because I wanted to know what the port number whereever I'm at in the code. That port number is messing it up and I haven't figured out what Camel is doing but I just #ifdef the code out for now and hard coded all the port number to what I need to use.

Read the thread beginning with this message: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2001-December/015326.html The subject of the thread is: Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync. Yep. That was me who was having that problem. I've started doing it again to (having procmail writing to the same folders that evolution is reading) and haven't seen the problem re-occur yet. I was hoping that now that evolution wasn't beta anymore that problem had been addressed. But to answer the original question, what I do is this: - procmail filters my mail into ~/mail/[folder name] where PINE reads it. - those folders are actually symlinked to ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox (or whatever the path to the folder's mbox file happens to be).

Hi, evolution 1.0.3. Mail component dies every time it tries to send/receive. Uses all CPU for about 5 seconds and then notifies that mail component has died. Is this the thing I saw earlier today on the list about someone posting an attachment that crashes the mail component? If so, someone don't do that!

After that EVO went on its merry way. I started Mozilla's email client and set it up for my POP3 account, setting the following options: Leave messages on server and Delete messages on server when they are deleted locally. This allowed me to fetch the messages and among them the bastardly message. Deleting it also removed it from the POP server, after which I had no more problems with Evolution. -- Janus Christensen __ I want something that'll give me the stamina of a young werewolf, the vision of a shaman, the thoughts of a serial killer and the gentleness of a hungry vampire bat. -- Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hmmm. And you still have an Inbox in your folder tree? That shouldn't
happen. :-)
I guess what you did was just removing the .ibex and .ev-summary files
and keeping the mbox and {folder,local}-metadata.xml files?

I tried this and it didn't work for me on my FreeBSD system. What I
ended up doing after reading someone's post about using Mozilla's mail
client was to set up Balsa and have the balsa client delete my recent
messages from the mail server at my isp. then i deleted my ~/evolution
directory and restored it from backup from yesterday. Everything is
back up and running just fine now.
Thanks,

[Evolution] recieve mail process
Hi I have just had a problem recieving mail from a local spool. I clicked in the send/recieve button, and about 40% of the way through importing the system went crazy, chewing up arround 300megs of swap space and thrashing the hard disk to bits. I waited for several mins to let things calm down and when it was obvious they would not I cannned evolution and assumed my mails were lost forever. Now every time I start evolution, when it gets round to automatically checking for mail teh same thing happens (I should point out that at the moment there is no mail in the locla spool). It seems to just go on for ever and ever, but the first few mails it recieved before teh first fit are imported again which makes me thing there is a copy of the original mail spool still hanging around where ever evo copies it too, is this correct and can I reclaim the lost emails and maybe find the one causing the problem? -- R Brown-Bayliss ---==--- http://zoism.org ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

I did something similar, but used a little python script, since I
don't haveany other email clients.

No, I removed everything except mbox. On the next evo start up it popped
up a dialog that said some files were missing for this version and
should it create them. I said yes and now it all seems OK.

Next time, use a binary attachment, like gzip, or better yet, attach it to a bug report. On Fri, 2002-05-03 at 07:09, Ron Guerin wrote: Apologies.

Re: [Evolution] recieve mail process
there's a message on [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject This message crashes Evo that had an invalid binary email address. Remove this mesage from ~/evolution/local/Inbox/movemail Since Evolution was not able to fully import your local spool, it left a copy in ~/evolution/local/Inbox/movemail so that the next check could continue and thus not lose mail. Anyways, this bug has already been fixed in CVS so there should soon be another release containing a fix.
