I have submitted a bug concerning failure to unwrap lines (533824).
Until the bug is resolved, can anyone suggest how to overcome this
error?

Since you're asking the list for help, it might be polite to copy the
description of the problem rather than expect people to go look for it.

[Evolution] Changing subject lines of received emails

2008-05-19 Thread andy
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.

Cheers

Andy

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] Preview Pane Not Change with Email

2008-05-19 Thread Aric Gregson
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

How about the following ...
Edit as new
Modify subject
save as draft
use draft copy as 'key' email
setup filter that can be run on Drafts folder to move 'key' email back to 
inbox, 
or setup a filter to move/copy ALL pertinent emails from Inbox/Drafts to a 
designated folder
