I think he just wants the sort order to be case insensitive.

As a long time Linux user, I have gotten used to case sensitive sorting.
It always takes me a few seconds longer to find things in the few apps
that use case insensitive sorting.

Anyway, I think the sort order is built into the GNOME file dialog.
Changing this might involve forking the relevant GNOME library. IMHO, it's
not worth it.

It would be better to try to get the GNOME folks to add this as a config
option. The 'gmc' and 'mc' file managers have this option.

I think he's talking abut the way Outlook prints the current user's
fullname at the top of the page. If I print an email message using a2ps it
prints something like "Printed for Anthony E. Greene". Eudora does
something similar.

It could be solved using a banner page, but that's a waste of paper and
it's a common feature in Evolution's primary competition.

The procmailex man page includes a simple example for this. It relies on
Message-ID, so the MD5 solution may be better if you're worried about a

I ran "mozilla --help" and saw this:

Mozilla process.  For more info, see:

The web page explains how to use the command to do what you need.

Some people have keys for different purposes, home and work for example.
Perhaps a project or customer requires a specific key be used, just to

Most people only need one key, but sometimes there are good reasons to

I have found that I often need to be able to repeatedly send a message to
test some mail-related feature or another. So I created a shell script
that pipes a message file to sendmail. If you have to do it more than once
or twice, using a script is a lot faster than using a mailer.

But users don't install patches quickly. A virus gets plenty of time to
propagate itself before enough systems are fixed that it doesn't have
anywhere left to go.

Besides, not everyone uses Evo to read mail. Antivirus software will
eventually have a market on Linux.

Actually, you can tell fetchmail what program to use for delivery.
Fetchmail will pipe the message into that program and the program is
supposed to deliver it to the user. By default, fetchmail uses SMTP to
deliver to localhost, but you can specify your antivirus software in your
~/.fetchmailrc like this:

defaults protocol APOP fetchall nokeep mda "/usr/local/bin/antivirus"
poll mail.isp.com  username MYNAME  password MYPASSWORD


The antivirus software would then have to put the mail in your inbox or
mail spool.

I used Eudora back when OE was still called MS Internet Mail and News
(note that the executable is still msimn.exe). Outlook was still on the
drawing board. There were only two really good, free, standards-compliant
mail clients for Windows: Eudora and Pegasus.

Eudora uses an INI file for configuration ands keeps mail in RFC822
formatted text files. I needed to be able to process some of my mail
using programs, so having the plain text available made that a lot easier.
It also made it easier to switch to another mailer without losing any
data or jumping through any export/import hoops. Anyone who has tried to
switch from Outlook/OE to a non-MS mailer should be able to appreciate
this.

Eudora allowed me to specify the location of the config and data files on
the command line. I used that ability to keep multiple users' data on a
Linux file server and make Eudora's shortcut look for data in
"\\linuxbox\homes\.eudora\". That allowed me to use Win9x desktops and
still have some measure of security for user mail files. That feature
could also be used to access different INI files for the same mail data,
in effect allowing multiple POP accounts.

Eudora was the first popular Windows mailer to support multiple accounts
directly (Personalities). Eudora was the first to support message
templates, redirecting (bouncing), nested aliases, multiple address books
(all plain text for easy external processing), and probably some other
features that I can't think of right now. Eudora had these features while
OE was still either on the drawing board or in beta.

Eudora allowed filters to set the font color in a message summary list.

Eudora was the first Windows mailer to offer exclusionary filters
(Recipient does not match any address in a specified list). I could filter
out my mailing lists, then have Eudora check against my alternate
addresses. Anything that didn't match was not addressed directly to me and
was probably spam. This was unique stuff on Windows in 1995/96.

Eudora also allowed me to download just the headers of messages. I could
then set a desired action for each message (download+delete on server,
delete on server, download+leave on server). On the next connection Eudora
would carry out the specified actions. On a slow dialup link this feature
came in very handy.

Eudora also supported the POPSend extension to POP3. I don't know why this
never became popular, but it allowed you to send mail over the
(authenticated) POP3 connection. SMTP AUTH is probably better designed,
but we could have prevented a lot of spam a long time ago if more mail
clients had been able to use POPSend.

Eudora was also the first mailer that you could download with a full PGP
package and a plugin. That distribution decision alone introduced PGP to
thousands of Windows users.

Some of the features I described were only available in the Pro version,
but I got enough email that paying $30 for Eudora pro was well worth it. I
really wish Qualcomm had ported it to Linux.

A lot of people who have been handling lots of Internet mail since before
1996 have used Eudora. People who started later, or did most of their mail
at work, or have not needed to handle lots of mail, probably used whatever
was convenient. In a lot of cases that was Outlook/Outlook Express.

An old email power user like me loved the configurability of Eudora. By
the tinm Outlook/OE got anywhere near as good as Eudora, I'd been using
Eudora for several years and wasn't about to switch. One showstopper for
me was the way Outlook stored data in opaque file formats. My email and
contact data is too important to me to allow it to get locked up in some
proprietary file format. Eudora still had the edge on Outlook for my needs
so I continued to use it until I switched to Linux.

When I switched to Linux the only app I really missed was Eudora. I used
Pine for a while because it was fast and good enough. Now I use Evo at
work for the same reasons. But at home, Mutt is king.

It would be good if the Evo developers had experience with Eudora. It was
the best Windows mail client that I've ever used. It is a great tool for
email power users.

Every Linux distro comes with an SMTP server (generally sendmail) and a
POP3 and/or IMAP server. In fact, Evolution uses IMAP to talk to Exchange
server (unless you buy the Ximian add-on), and it uses SMTP for outgoing
mail.

All you need to do is setup an Internet standard mail server and you can
use Evolution or any other standard mail client: Netscape, Eudora, Outlook
Express, Outlook (Internet Mail mode), Mozilla, mutt, pine, fetchmail,
etc.

If you really only need mail services, and not the workgroup stuff that
Exchange provides, then Exchange Server is probably a waste of money.

Have you given any thought to a character-based mail client? A combination
of procmail and pine would do what you need, and it would be much faster
than any graphical client. If you're handling 600 messages a day, you need
a powerful mail client solution. For filtering, nothing can touch
procmail. It can filter on any header and can call formail to add Reply-To
headers as needed.

Pine has a feature called "roles" that allows you to set all kinds of
things based on the role the message is associated with. There are ways to
set criteria in pine that determine the role, but I would just have
procmail add an X-Pine-Role header during the filtering process to make
things easy for pine. I would still have to tell pine to use that header
to set the role, but it's easier to use procmail's regexp power to figure
out what role should be associated with a given message.

In pine you can associate a template and a sig with a role. That should
allow you to specify Bcc and Fcc headers as part of the template.

For tasks and calendar items, you could use ical. You could add the
command "ical -popup" to your session startup to display today's tasks and
appointments.

These programs are not a single integrated solution, but they are very
good at what they do, and they'll allow you to get things done quickly,
even on an modest machine.

This only a problem if you setup Outlook to deliver to Personal Folders.
If you leave the mail on the server, Evolution or any other IMAP client

This is a nice option. In fact, fast rendering is one of the reasons I use

it's features as much as I need speed.

I suspect it's a small hack to get Evo to ignore inline PGP messages if
the MIME type is not pgp-related. But that would leave you using the

I don't have access to an IMAP account, but I got this working on POP3. I
was able to change the color of the message or assign a match score to the
message, based on the content of an arbitrary header.

The dialog posted at
<http://www.pobox.com/~agreene/linux/arbitrary-header-filter.png> shows 
what the filter looks like. The filter changes the color of the text in
the incoming messages as dsiplayed in the message list. The result is

I'm not sure why you had trouble getting this to work.

You can switch products if you like, but don't say that the Evolution
developers didn't listen. They did listen, but they didn't agree with you.
For that matter, neither do I.

I think that the GUI for a custom headers option would not be worth the
work when you consider that we can already view all headers or filter the
message based on headers.

Now that I think about it, what difference does it make what the spam
header says? If you're going to discard the message unread based on the
spoam header, then all you need is a filter. If you're not going to
discard the message, then the spam header is irrelevant because you're
going to read the message anyway. The only time when you need to see the
spam header is when you're designing your filters. Viewing all headers is
a reasonable solution to that problem.

Since there are already a "View All Headers" and a "View Email Source"
options, this just seems like a very low priority wishlist item. 

For the immediate purpose of seeing spam score headers, filters would be
the way to go. There are actions available to assign a color and/or assign
a score. The message would still end up in the expected mailbox, but it
would be marked in such a way that you would kow what the spam score was.

In the U.S., there is a patent that can be used to allow anyone to use the
idea. I seem to remember that it is something like registering a prior art
with the Patent Office so that no one can try to get a restrictive patent
on the idea -- the USPTO version of copyleft. 

Using this process was suggested when Tim O'Rielly (O'Rielly Books) and
Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com) had a big discussion about software patents a year
or so ago.

That explains it. I saw this in a diff that was posted in December 2000:

  <http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution-hackers/2001-December/004019.html>

I guess it never made it into the official release. Is there another way
of setting the path/options for sendmail?
