[Evolution] Evolution changes the message that I am readingtt
Hi, I finally decided to try and use Evolution for my default emailer and when reading significant number of messages at a single sitting I ran into the following irksome problem. Is there a way aroung this? The most efficient way that I have found to read a volume of mail in a folder is to start at the oldest unread message and then to use Ctrl-D or P to read through the messages and deleting as required. Once I start at the oldest message I expect to be able to continuously read all the messages in that folder without any disruptions from the email program. Currently with evolution this does not happen as the open message (the one being read) will be replaced with the first message opened in the folder whenever new messages are added to the folder. Assuming 100 new messages in a folder, starting at the bottom of the message viewer (the oldest messages), open the message in a message window, read and use Ctrl-D or P to move to the next message. Further assume that you have read 15 messages by the time evolution automaticlly fetches new messages and one or more of the new messages are filtered into the folder that is being read. When the new messages are added to the folder, the message in the message viewer (should be number 15) will become message number 1. Close the message viewer, double click on message 15 and start reading again. Now at message 27 when new messages arrive. Now the message viewer will show message number 15 (the message double clicked i.e. the start of this string) when it should be showing number 27. Close the viewer, double click on the 27th message to start again and when messages arrive when reading number 54 . you're back to 27. When reading a folder worth of messages this is not an aid to producivity. Whatever message I am reading should remain in view regardless of what Evolution is doing and I should be able to continue with my reading without interruption. Does anyone have a suggested solution to allow a continuous flow of reading? Thanks Ralph ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

[Evolution] Spell Checking for SuSE
The recent conversation about others getting spell checking to work in Evolution is frustrating cause I can not get spell check in SuSE 7.2 With Red Carpet the computers have the latest available Evo (13.7) for SuSE. The Ximian channel for SuSE shows that aspell, aspell-en and gnome-spell are available. However these can not be downloaded because they fail a dependancy for libpspell-impl.so.6 The pspell included with SuSE 7.2 is pspell 12-38 which satisfies libpspell-impl.so.4 A serch of sourceforge found pspell 12.2 which also provides libpspell-impl.so.4 I could not find a pspell listed at the gnome.org. If the latest version of pspell is 12.2 (libpspell-impl.so.4) then how do others satisfy the dependency for libpspellimpl.so.6? Has anyone had success getting spell checking to work with Evo in SuSE and if so, how did you do it? OR any suggestions on how to get spell checking to work with SuSE? Thanks for any help. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

This would give you a single source to delete what is probably junk mail and the opportunity to glance at the contents of the folder to see if there actually is some legitimate mail. As an add-on for filter 4 perhaps move to folder spam, then delete. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] Encrypted attachments with Evolution 0.14 do not work
I recently tried to send attachments with my email from Evolution 0.14 encrypted using pgp. What the recipients received was an encrypted email which when decrypted had the attachment included within the body of the email (not as an attachment) and the attachment appeared to remain encrypted. The 3 recipients have not changed their systems since the last encrypted mails were sent successfully and all 3 recipients have reported the same problem. The only change I can think of is that I upgraded from Evo 0.13 to 0.14 via Red Carpet. All the recipients are using pgp 6.5.8, the keys were exchanged years ago and have not changed. I believe all the recipients are using PMMail as their email program. Until yesterday the use of encrypted mail between us worked without problems. My system is SuSE 7.2 with pgp 6.5.8. The evolution is 0.14 as downloaded last week using Red Carpet. Has there been a change to the encryption methodology of Evolution? Should I change my evolution setting in some manner? Have other user successfully sent encrypted attachments using evolution 0.14? If I send encrypted attachment using evolution from my computer to my wife's computer also using evolution then the attachments are received correctly at her computer. However the majority of my email recipients are not using evolution as their email package so this is not as significant as being able to communicate with other users. Any suggestions? Or does some one know how to back grade to evolution 0.13? Thanks -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

All 3 computers had worked with Evo 0.13 and are SuSE 7.2 systems with the Red Carpet upgrade from 0.13 to 0.14. Between the Evo computers sending encrypted attachments works fine and the Evo computers can all properly receive encrypted attachments from other emailers.

To the best of my knowledge the only changes to the 3 computers I tried to send the Evo encrypted files from were that the computers were upgraded using Red Carpet after ver 0.14 became available. (Other updated programs from Ximiam occured at the same time such as Control Center.) All 3 computers had been able to send encrypted attachments to non Evo systems when using Evo 0.13 Below is an example of an encrypted message sent from Evo 0.14 to a non Evo email program. Note that the pgp encrypted attachment does not show as a separate attachment as it should but is included in the body of the email.

I am currently using Evo 0.14, but also had a about 10 filters working at once in 0.13 so the filters worked there as well. As per typical with manual input items, check your spelling in the filter rule as a small error will negate the filter. Also if you want to keep the original message from showing up in your inbox plus your sub-folder, remember to add an action of "stop processing" to your filter rule after the message has been directed to the sub-folder. The fastest way I have found to set up filters for mailing lists is to open a message from the mailing list in question and then Tools -> Create filter from message and as long as you have a folder waiting then all you have to do is add the command to stop processing and your filter is complete. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

Re: [Evolution] Encrypted attachments with Evolution 0.14 do notwork
It is after decryption by PMMail. The message appears in the message list of PMMail, the passphrase is type in and PMMail opens the message. The body of the email message is decrypted but the attachment is non functioning within the body. I can not comment on the "Content-Encoding" stuff as I usually do not see it or look for it.

[Evolution] Encrypted Attachments with Evo 0.14 AND 0.15
Just downloaded and installed Evo 0.15 to replace the 0.14 that was giving me problems with encrypted attachments. The problem continues in Evo 0.15. Attachments sent encrypted by Evo are not usable when received on an emailer other than Evo. The encrypted attachment from Evo is not separated as an attachment like it should be and is shown with the email body in some format language (does not appear to be typical pgp encrypted text). Jerry, you had made the comment that the pgp coding had not changed between Evo version 0.13 and 0.14. Is it possible that there was a change in how Evo handles attachments (mime, base64, QP)? -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] NEW problem with Evo and encryption
A new problem has been spotted regarding the use of Evo and encrypted email. This is regarding email that is encrypted but does not contain an attachment. When encrypted email is received by evo there is a lock icon displayed until the email is decrypted for display. So far so good. After reading the displayed message it is decided to reply to the original sender. Hit the reply button and a new message window is opened with the original message included EXCEPT that the original message that is being quoted is now encrypted. This is not so good, in fact this is not workable. It is impossible for me to type a comment into an encrypted block of text. Also the original poster does not know what his message looks like after it is encrypted and since the original message was encrypted to my public key then it is not possible for him to open it anyhow. Once the message has been decrypted by me for my use then I should be able to send it to whomever I choose in plain, decrypted text or encrypted IF I so choose. I believe this was handled correctly in Evo 0.13 it is incorrect in 0.14 and 0.15 -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] RC2 still broken
Downloaded and installed Evo RC2 using Red Carpet on to SuSE 7.2. I was looking forward to a fix for the broken PGP that started in RC1. RC2 does not provide any relief. A message signed by PGP is reported in Evo as PGP 2.6.x is not supported. EXCEPT the sender signed the message using PGP 6.5.8 (I know that because I signed from a second machine and emailed it to myself). The message is readable so the error report from Evo is just very annoying. However if the message is encrypted then Evo is broke, dead, non-functional. IF the message is encrypted, and of course if there is an encrypted attachment, then Evo shows the header of the message and the error indication from Evo that 2.6.x is not supported. The body of the encrypted message, the attachment and any possible method of recovery are not visible. The is no encrypted undeciphered text, no icon or menu holding the text, nothing. The recovery is to set Evo to leave messages on the server at all times. And then to close Evo and use a different email client to retrieve messages from the server, sort through those messages, find the encrypted message and view the email all through the other email client. The result is that I am having to manage 2 email clients and the messages left on the server when all I want to do is receive and send encrypted email, preferably with Evo. While Evo's handling of encrypted email is not perfect, as I have mentioned in earlier posts, prior to RC1 it was generally functional. I understand that there was a change with PGP coding in RC1 with the removal of support for PGP 2.6.x. Now there needs to be a fix so that encrypted messages can be used with Evo with at least the functionality that was in the previous beta releases. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] Spell checking in SuSE
If you are using Evo in SuSE 7.2 and are getting tired of Red Carpet refusing to download the aspell and gnome-spell packages needed to get spell checking working in Evo try the following: Use Red Carpet to replace your newer pspell package with pspell 0.12.2-ximian.4 from the SuSE channel of Red Carpet. Red Carpet still won't load aspell or gnome-spell but now you are on the way. Go to ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-gnome/suse-72-i386 and grab the rpm's for aspell and gnome-spell. Use Yast1 to install aspell and gnome-spell; roughly the same as --force with your favourite rpm package except that it will automatically fire up Suseconfig for you. Now spell checking works in Evo (assuming that you have turned spell checking on in Gnome control centre). Slick. Just need to find a way to get English rather than American spelling. I have had this set up for several days now and the older version of pspell does not appear to cause any problems, except that Red Carpet wants to upgrade to the newer version of pspell. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

This computer never had any PGP 2.6.x versions installed in any OS: so if Evo saw a PGP 2.6.x binary it was mistaken. However I checked to be sure some package did not sneak PGP 2.6.x in as a dependency or whatever and my system remains clean with just a single version of PGP 6.5.8i. In an effort to try your fix I went to the Evo account setup and changed the binary from PGP to other and then tried to change it back to /usr/bin/pgp. Evo refused to accept and retain the change to pgp! At this point the fun is definitely gone. PGP 6.5.8 is there, it works, and my copy of Evo denies it. Have no idea what caused this, but I not interested in playing anymore. Grabbed the pgp keyrings moved them into gnupg which is loaded by default on SuSE, some quick tweaking and Evo can again read encrypted messages. BTW Evo seems to remember the gnupg passphrase for the complete (pgp was iffy) and the signature report from gnupg appears to have better qualitative content than the previous PGP signature reports. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] Mouse not working with new install of 7.3
Installed SuSE 7.3 on my desktop,though the X-server and mouse problems made this a very lengthy install. The X is working now but the mouse is still a problem. I had saved data and other files and did a clean install of 7.3. At this time if I boot directly to a graphical interface then the mouse does not function. I can use the keyboard to Tab around KDM and get to a windowed environment, but without a mouse there is no reason to be there. If I startup to a text - console interface and then use "startx" I go directly to KDE and the mouse is working. From a text - console typing in "init 5" will go to KDM and the mouse is working. This is functional but not as convenient as loading directly to the GUI. And this is definitely not the computer to show windows users how easy linux is to use. Any suggestions as to what needs to be tweaked, modified or removed so that this computer can boot directly to KDM? Switching between init 3 and init 5 shows that GPM is added and removed, however I do not want to rush in and remove a utility (such as GPM) until I know that it is safe to do so. Should this be switched off? This computer has been a problem install of X since I got started at SuSE 6.2. Alternatively the problem has appeared to be motherboard BIOS, video card,or mouse. The install have always been without X and then use yast or sax to get X working. This install of 7.3 had just been harder than previous installs. So far I have tried configuring with yast, yast2, sax, sax2 and xf86config. I have used several of the mouse protocol (ps/2 using psaux, worked in the past and is in place right now), changed the video settings and tried booting with and without frame buffers (matrox video card). I could not find a solution in the reference or configuration manuals. Also no solution on the SuSE database. This is an out of the box clean install of SuSE 7.3, and not a hand rolled kernel. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] Feature request, or where are these hidden?
After spending much of today fleshing out my contacts section of evolution, the following observations came up; 1. Within the "contacts" it is possible to sent email to the contact that is open. Being that evolution is a fine email program this makes sense. But for quite a number of contacts I have also typed in their WWW address, so why can not evolution call up the default browser from within the contacts area of evolution? Evolution is destined to be a primary PIM for many people (possibly their only information manager), why not allow a significant piece of that information to be accessed from within evolution? For example if someone has a number of contacts in their suppler category, then while reviewing their category listing in evolution it would also be possible to check the suppliers website. Bookmarks in a browser are a separate information listing and not synchronized with evolution. One way to manage the information is to allow for browser access from evolution email OR contacts. 2. "Contacts" has two very useful tools to help manage the information namely "contact lists" and "categories". Can they be used together so that a contact list can be tagged to be included in certain categories. Right now tagging an individual contact and its associated email addresses to a specific category or three is very easy. How about allowing a contact list, with its email addresses, being similarly tagged to categories. For example. A category called the "XYZ Corporation" may have a number of names and email addresses, but that number of names will be smaller than the entire contact section of evolution. A contact list may have the names of the Board of Directors of XYZ Corp, or the accounting group of XYZ, or a group of golfing buddies from the XYZ Corp. I would like to be able to have evolution recognize these three contact lists as being in the category XYZ Corp. This would be very useful rather than having to scroll through the entire contact section of evolution to find a contact list. If necessary I guess this could be considered a feature request / proposal. Alternatively perhaps someone could tell me where they already exist within evolution. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

It just seemed like a possibility on your system where you have spell checking that works but only for one user (root), that maybe the HTML Viewer had only been adjusted for root settings and not for each of your users. Other than that, I can not help you very much. I currently have 3 SuSE (SuSE 7.2 and 7.3) systems setup to enjoy spell checker in Evolution. The way it is accomplished in SuSE ( which may mean nothing to your RH system) is as follows: 1. Install pspell-0.12.2-ximian.4.i386 using your preferred RPM manager to overwrite the existing and higher version numbered files. 2. Use the SuSE program YaST (like rpm --force) to install aspell-0.33.7.1-ximian.3.i386 and gnome-spell-0.4-ximian.1.i386. There are dependency problems reported that need to be forced through when installing these rpms in SuSE. The YaST program will also run a configuration utility called SuSEconfig after the installation of the rpms. 3. Go to gnome control center and turn on spell checking. 4. Log off and then log on. In SuSE the sequence of installation is important to get evolution spell checking to work. Pspell-0.12.2 MUST be installed before aspell and gnome-spell. Perhaps you can remove pspell, aspell and gnome-spell from your system and then reinstall in sequence? YMMV. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

Re: [Evolution] Spell problems take two
I understand your frustration, however I can not provide any additional insights. The method that I described works for SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 on a desktop or laptop with a KDE environment. Would have expected that this method would easily worked for you assuming that you are using RH and Gnome. Looks like the guys from Ximian will need to provide your solution.

Once you have selected ONE of the addresses then none of the remaining addresses can be selected. It appears that once a contact address has been used then all of that contact listing is not accessible, can not add the UI add the contacts other addresses as CC or BCC (except by typing the address) The right click to select an address works most of the time, but does not acknowledge how to send to multiple address. The contact list can accommodate up to 3 addresses, now how to get the emailer to deal with 2 or 3 of those addresses simultaneously. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

[Evolution] Evolution 1.0.1 on SuSE
Appears to be an unresolvable dependency in SuSE when trying to add Evolution 1.0.1. The system already has Evolution 1.0 installed and working fine. Evolution 1.0.1 has additional dependencies beyond 1.0, namely: libgal19 libiconv.so.2 Libgal19-0.19-ximian.1.i386 has a dependency of libiconv.so.2 The latest libicon rpm that I could find at ftp.ximian was libiconv-1.5. Installing libiconv-1.5 does not appear to solve for libiconv.so.2. Forcing ligal19 and evolution1.0.1 produces a non-functional version of evolution as evo will not load without libiconv.so.2. Reinstalling evolution-1.0.ximian.3 over evolution 1.0.1 results in a working evolution without the need for libiconv.so.2. Any suggestion on how to resolve and upgrade evolution on SuSE? -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

If you are using SuSE try the following IN THE SEQUENCE LISTED: 1. using red carpet, rpm or whatever load pspell0.12.2-ximian.4 (not a newer version) 2. ftp the aspell and gnomespell rpm's from Ximian. 3. use Yast1 to install aspell and gnomespell (rpm --force might work, but I know that Yast definitely does and ignores the dependency) 4. using gnome control centre -> html viewer -> miscellaneous ensure that spell checking is enabled and that you have selected the language "en", not en-gb or en-ca.

Do not know for sure that rpm works. Yast1 does work and calls up SuSEconfig. I would recommend quitting evolution, killev etc., removing all the spell packages and then install pspell, aspell and gnomespell in the sequence and manner that I had described earlier.

Probably that most reliable way to get evolution up and running again is to bypass Red Carpet. After you have a functioning system maybe Red Carpet will work in the future. Without knowing what distro you are using and what gnome-ximian files you may have on your computer it is impossible to tell how to get your system working, however, here are two attempts: 1. Reload the evolution rpms that you had originally used to get 14.99 2. Ignore 14.99 and go directly to evolution 1.0.2 using the rpms from ftp.ximian.com . This will involve considerable dependency problems but the people using SuSE 7.3 and Mandrake 8.1 had to do this until recently. before 1.0.2 was available, below was the minimum rpms needed to get SuSE 7.3 to install evolution 1.0.1. Your mileage WILL vary. gnome-spell-0.4-ximian.1.i386.rpm aspell-0.33.7.1-ximian.3.i386.rpm bonobo-1.0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm bonobo-conf-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm evolution-1.0.1-ximian.2.i386.rpm gnome-pilot-0.1.63-ximian.2.i386.rpm gtkhtml-0.16.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm gtkhtml-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm libbonobo-conf0-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgal14-0.14-ximian.2.i386.rpm libgal18-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgal19-0.19-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgtkhtml15-0.12.0-ximian.6.i386.rpm libgtkhtml18-0.15.0-ximian.2.i386.rpm libgtkhtml19-0.16.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm libgtkhtml20-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm libiconv-1.5-ximian.3.i386.rpm libnss3-0.9.5-ximian.1.i386.rpm pilot-link-0.9.5-ximian.2.i386.rpm pspell-0.12.2-ximian.4.i386.rpm Just go through this list one at a time and satisfy all dependencies and then you will have a working evolution.

An end-user or consumer type person using windows may use PGP, but is extremely unlikely to use GPG or have even heard of GPG. In order to use evolution to communicate quickly and efficiently with computer users (still more likely to be windows users), evolution and GPG needs to be compatible with people who use email clients ranging from outlook express, outlook, through to eudora, pegasus and pmmail. Communicating with persons using evolution/GPG on linux is an extremely small percentage of the world of computer users. Rather than any effort being made to rationalize any reduction in compatibility between linux/evolution/GPG and the rest of world using PGP, I would far prefer that ability of evolution users to communicate with windows email clients be enhanced. Such as the ability to seamlessly send encrypted attachments to the above named email clients.

I do not feel that have completely missed any point. How many people actually use pgp? In my experience virtually all windows users that are using public key encryption are using pgp, because it is easier for them to use than GPG. I believe that this is the point that Michael Leone was also trying to make. Your experience may be different but that does not make my experiences less valid and does not mean that I have missed the point. I never said that anyone needed to use pgp in evolution to be compatible with other email clients or for any other reason. With regard to your new question of allowing linux user to use pgp in evolution, that is really a question of convenience to existing pgp users vs the ability of ximian to program evolution to work as efficiently as possible. I would suggest that every encrypted mail user from windows that tries linux will initially start with pgp as their keys are pre-existing and pgp will be more familiar to them. In the general computer world and even among linux users with limited experience, my experience remains that pgp is more common. Not trying to suggest that there are not valid reasons to switch to gpg, but stating t

Did you get the evolution 1.0.8 rpm from www.usr-local-bin.org? The rpm from that site has been particularly good about working with spell check. Also there is a version of gnome-spell from that same site gnome-spell-0.4.1-SuSE.jeo.1 that I am using on several SuSE computers which may be different than the version that you are using. Finally you can try adding the pspell-dev from the SuSE CD. One of my installs refused to spell check in evolution until I got desperate and added this file. No, I do not know why it works that way, but it did. HTH -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
