[Evolution] Changing subject lines of received emails
Hi Let me set the context first: I don't want to get into the details of her work, but my wife registers companies on-line with Companies House (in the UK). CH will issue two emails - the first a confirmation of registration and second an acceptance of registration. The email subject lines are all the same regardless of the name of the companies she is registering and regardless of whether it is a confirmation or an acceptance email. Doing this a lot it will quickly become quite confusing and tiresome because one has to pretty much scan the content of each email to see whether it is a confirmation or acceptance email, and whether an acceptance email ties up with a confirmation email on a given company for audit purposes. I have recently encouraged my wife to try running her own small business using GNU/Linux (Debian Etch) and she is using Evolution. She wants to do something that she claims to be able to do when using MS Outlook at her full-time employment, which is as follows: When she receives an email with one subject line (e.g. this-is-a-mass-response) she wants to be able to change that to a subject line that is more meaningful (e.g. this-is-more-meaningful). That way, when she receives a number of emails with similar mass-response subject lines and edits them to something specific, she is able to quickly see which emails relate to which company she has registered. The question: Is there someway that I (it'll be me doing the tweaking) can set Evolution up so that someone can edit the subject line of an email they have received so that it can be stored in the inbox (wherever) with the newly edited subject line? Thanks if anyone has any steers on this.

The short answer is No. This kind of request comes up relatively regularly, in different contexts (some people want to edit subject lines, some people want to delete large attachments, etc.) The reasons given by the Evo developers for not allowing this are twofold, as I understand it: first, just a general unhappiness that allowing email you receive to be edited is not right. Second, and more importantly IMO, is that Evo supports a large number of mail backends (POP, IMAP, Exchange/OWA, etc.) and most of those backends have no facility for allowing this. In fact, the only one where it would be possible AFAIK is the local copy (typically POP or local mail spools). Personally I would love to see this made available for those backends where it's possible, but the Evo developers would prefer to not support it (or, at least, they don't have the energy/time to work on it) if it can't be supported in most if not all backends. As a refugee from Emacs VM, which was hugely capable in many ways, I do miss the ability to delete attachments since it regularly happens that someone sends me a gigantic attachment of a core file or similar which is completely useless to me, but I do want to preserve the message (containing the backtrace for example). However, so far this hasn't risen to the level of can't live without for me, at least. Anyway. Maybe she would have better luck with Evolution's email label feature? I've not used it myself but it sounds like something she could make use of. The only problem is if she wants to have lots and lots of them created and deleted relatively quickly it might be a problem. Evo's interface to mail labels is not very quick and easy. It's more geared to set up a bunch of static labels and reuse them. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Preview Pane Not Change with Email
Running Evolution 2.21.92 on SunOS 5.11 snv_83 i86pc the Preview pane will occasionally get 'stuck' on one email and will not change to show the next email selected. I can move to other mailboxes, select another email and view the other email in a separate window, but the Preview pane does not change. It happens will both a .Mac account and an Exchange server account, both accessed via IMAP over SSL. Turning Preview on and off does not solve the problem. Is this a known issue with this version of Evolution? If so, is there a work-around other than restarting Evolution? If it is not a previously known issue, how can I go about looking for the cause? thanks, aric ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
