Hi, I just want to say that the signature problem I mentioned in November seems to be totally resolved with the new Evolution 1.2.1 upgrade. I've noticed the change because, curiously, most of my previous signatures disappeared after the upgrade! In the Tools Parameters, all the signatures were there (and the files were intact in ~/evolution/signatures), but nothing showed up in the preview pane or in the compose window.

Re: [Evolution] Signatures and HTML
I think its basically because evolution's editor always processes mail as html. Its just easier that way, because you can represent any plain text in html, but not the other way around. You just have to wrap progs like fortune with a script that adds a pre block.

I've notice something though. When I first tried to edit my signature with Kedit 1.0.3, it was fine, but with gedit (2.0.2), I had the same problem with accents. I looked at gedit's Preferences and changed the parameter for During saving (sorry, I don't know the real title in English). It was set to Use original file encoding if possible. I changed it to Use current locale's encoding if possible. And it worked! My locale encoding is, I think, ISO-8859-1. The same as what is defined in Evolution. Obviously, the Evo signature editor does not take into account Evolution character encoding or the locale's encoding. Or takes it from somewhere, but where?! By the way, I use ISO-8859-15 which is a lot better than latin1 (aka ISO-8859-1). I'll try that!

But sometime I personally want Groet, sometimes I want Vriendelijke groet, sometimes I want Met groet, sometimes I want Vennlig hilsen, sometimes I want Hilsen, sometimes I want Helsing, occasionally Saluts Sometimes I'm Tony, sometimes I'm Tonni, sometimes I'm T'en to special friends. Using a different acount for each of these combos would bring me up to 8^3 different accounts. Seems rather exaggerated. I don't use different accounts for different signatures. It's just that I have so much accounts. I'm subscribed to a lot of mailinglists and they don't all arrive at the same address. So I need to change account for being able to mail to that list. In fact, I just use two different signature files. One in Dutch and one in English... -- Regards, Mathy Vanvoorden ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
[Evolution] Signatures in reply/forward
Is there a way to place the signature above the quoted message in a reply? Likewise with an inline forwarded message. Thank you in advance. Ted Pibil [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
Re: [Evolution] Signatures in reply/forward
No, and this has been requested before but will likely never be implemented as most mail client software has been written to expect signatures at the END of messages so that they may strip off the signature when replying. It is also a standard that it be at the end. Jeff On Sun, 2002-09-22 at 15:57, Ted Pibil wrote: Is there a way to place the signature above the quoted message in a reply?

Re: [Evolution] signatures again
The signature option is on the editor, its pretty hard to miss.
