When I was using Windows and Outlook express there was a method of adding preformatted signatures to an email. I could simply click on an icon and select which signature I wanted to use. I value this feature quite highly as I use a number of different signatures depending on whether I'm signing a professional correspondence, an email to a mailing list I'm a member of, a mailing list I host, etc. Is there some way to create a multiple signature file and have it readily available to insert a signature. It would be handy if other blocks of text (things like URLS with brief descriptions) could be made similarly available. Is there any way I can conveniently do these things using Evolution as my e-mail client? I don't think there's a good way to do this at the moment. You can select a sig file for each mail account you have, though. Thus one way to do what you want would be to make several mail acocunts, only one of them setup for incoming mail, and each with a different sig.

[Evolution] Public keys in vCards
I'm wondering if I should open a bug for the following: The vcard format specified by RFC 2426 includes a KEY field for a person's public key. This does not appear to be supported by Evolution. If it were supported there are a number of cool things that could be done with it, or with a key fingerprint field. (I don't know if there's a standard vcard extension for a key fingerprint, but this seems just as useful given online key distribution.) If either the KEY field or a key fingerprint field were supported, it would be extremely useful for establishing trust. With a PDA, someone could beam you their business card on, then you could sync with Evolution. Evolution could promp you have a new key(or signature) and ask if you really got it from the person who claimed to give it to you. --Ben signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[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
[Evolution] dynamic auto-fetch frequency?
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 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Deleting a message from a vFolder is really just deleting that message. Similarly expunging while in a vfolder is a general expunge. There is really only one copy of a message which appears in a vFolder---it is just in the source folder. I hope that was clear. --Ben msg04214/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [Evolution] Is there a roadmap / future feature list?

I'm curious what it has that Evo doesn't at the moment. What I want to know, before I start firing off a list of 'would be nice if', 'could it do', 'what about' emails, is there a list of the features that have been requested somewhere? It would be extremely useful for non-gnome-programmer users like myself to be able to see if a feature suggestion has already been made - I guess it's basically a detailed roadmap of future releases? And if someone's going to suggest Bugzilla, please don't make us submit and track minor UI improvements via Bugzilla - Evolution's strength as a program is that normal office workers can use it, such should be feature submission process ;) The answer is indeed bugzilla. If you want to know what's been suggeted, you can either ask on this list (often people are easier to query than bugzilla) or search bugzilla. I'm not sure what a better feature submittion process would be.

[Evolution] Ignoring changes with empty subject
I find the following 1.0 behavior to be a UI bug: compose an email to someone (like yourself) leave the subject empty write foo in the body hit send. You'll get the empty subject dialog. erase foo in the body and type bar instead. Hit the send anyway button in the warning dialog. When you recieve the email, the message body will be foo Shall I enter this one into bugzilla? --Ben PS You folks at Ximian rock. Evolution is great.

[Evolution] Strange Vfolder in 0.99.2
I just upgraded to 0.99.2 and found a new vfolder I never created. I've had a vfolder named East Dorm but now I also have one named East Dorm voAIRJxv2384. It doesn't show up in the vFolder editor, nor can I find it in my ~/evolution/vfolders.xml. The voAIRJxv2384 part seems like an email ID used by evolution (I know I've seen voAIR... before in that sort of context). However I can't find anything with that id anywhere (though I'm not sure how I'd actually look for it.

[Evolution] 0.15 comments
I have a few comments. Overall things are coming along great! First: bug 10925. This should be easy to fix and not fixing it could result in people believing that Evolution has trashed their mail. Second: Somewhere along the line Search-show all became search-clear. I personally thought show all was a particularly clear lable and that it isn't clear exactly what clear would do. --Ben ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Import Dialog Nitpick UI Suggestion

I think this is a bad idea. Like, a bad idea on the order of, not being consistent about whether yes/OK is on the left or on the right. Here's one way to do things: all dialog boxes ask you a question. It's a yes/no question. The buttons say yes/no, ok/cancel, whatever the custom is. Here's another way to do things: dialog boxes ask you a question, or make a statement. Each button describes an activity to take. Now you have to slow down and read each button, instead of just reading the dialog question and knowing that bottom left corner means affirmative. On the contrary, now you don't have to read the question in detail and then stop to think about wether OK will quit the program or save your file (for example). Clearly ``Save'' will save and ``Don't Save'' will not. --Ben ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.helixcode.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
