[Evolution] archiving old mail?
I'd like to archive old mail, automatically. When I used MH, it was simple enough to write a script to use the relevant MH commands to find mail older than a month and move it into an archive subfolder. With Evolution, it ought to be reasonably straightforward, given that the mail is stored in an mbox-style file. My only fear is that if I move mail out of a file (while Evolution is shut down, of course :-)), I'll confuse its indexing mechanism. So, my questions: 1. Anybody done this already and care to share? 2. Need I fear the indexing, or will Evolution notice the difference in the mtimes and reindex on its own? 3. Is there some nifty, hidden API that'll help me do this, so that I don't have to munge the files directly? Thanks!

Re: [Evolution] temporarily frozen controls
I'm running fvwm2... And again, the odd thing is that it's been working fine for weeks. It just recently started acting this way. Same wm, same everythin g -- except perhaps for some ancillary stuff (i.e. I install RPM's pretty regularly, for various reasons; I don't think I touched any of the gtkhtml, bonobo, etc. packages, though).

[Evolution] temporarily frozen controls
I don't know what I did, but I'm having a really odd/annoying problem with Evolution 1.0... For weeks, it worked fine. Now, I seem to run into frozen controls fairly frequently (every other folder/message switch or so). That is, I'll jump to a new folder, and suddenly, nothing works except for the message selection pane. Scrollbars, menu, all frozen. If I change the currently-selected message, then change back to the original message, the controls are freed up and start to work again. Sometimes, it happens with the folder selection pane -- everything's frozen until I pick a new folder, then switch back. This is driving me batty. :-) I'm wondering if I may have installed an RPM recently that hosed me... Any ideas on what may be causing thing? Any ideas on what pieces/parts control this kind of behavior, for which I might try a reinstall? :-) Thanks, John -- John Klassa / Cisco Systems / RTP, NC / USA / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [ Save bits!

[Evolution] ugly fonts from Outlook users
When I get mail from Outlook users, it often contains *something* that makes for really ugly rendering. The attached image shows what I mean. The first box is really an apostrophe; the thing that looks like a capital J (or which may actually be a capital J :-)) is a smiley. The filth that generated this is: p class=3DMsoNormalspan class=3DEmailStyle17font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy= face=3DArialspan style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'I#8= 217;d say you are getting old and senile /span/font/spanspan class=3DEmailStyl= e17font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy face=3DWingdingsspan style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;mso-= bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-fam= ily: Arial;mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings'span style=3D'mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings'J/span/s= pan/font/spanspan class=3DEmailStyle17font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy face=3DArialspan style= =3D'font-size: 10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'span style=3Dmso-spac= erun: yesnbsp; /spanIn any case, I have a number of questions concerning thi= s:o:p/o:p/span/font/span/p Microsoft be cursed! :-) Anyway, any thoughts on what I can do to make this look nice? This kind of stuff always comes through in a tiny font (per the attached; my default font is much larger), and with missing characters. I do have the wingdings font available (I believe it's referred to in the junk I quoted), if you're wondering.

[Evolution] can't print (mail crashes)
I can't seem to print... Whether I try to print to a printer, or print to a file, the mail component crashes (I get the gnome application crashed dialog). Could I be missing a piece (i.e. what RPM's are required for printing to work)? :-) Thanks, John -- John Klassa / Cisco Systems / RTP, NC / USA / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [ Save bits!

Re: [Evolution] can't print (mail crashes)
Ah, I tracked it down... I was running: libgnomeprint15-0.29-2mdk When I upgraded to: libgnomeprint15-0.31-ximian.1.i586.rpm things started to work. Boy... Keeping up with RPM's is a chore. :-) Thanks to all who helped! John -- John Klassa / Cisco Systems / RTP, NC / USA / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [ Save bits!

[Evolution] getting netscape to launch an evolution compose window
I checked the FAQ, and I searched the net, but I can't find an answer to this (other than, in general, to use muttzilla). How does one get netscape to launch an evolution compose window when you click a mailto: link? How do you get evolution to launch a compose window programmatically, in general?
