Re: [Evolution] evolution fails to start
Just thought I would give you an update...I downloaded evolution for windows from Dipp Consultants, they have so far ignored my requests for help. I have been unable to find a forum or discussion group for evolution for windows. It would appear that I am fresh out of luck. An expensive lesson I may add! I have lost my contacts and my emails that I have received over the last six months. From now on it's Microsoft products running on Microsoft products. Open source is great if you're running Linux otherwise it's just too big a gamble.

When evolution encounters an exchange group (distribution list) in addressing, it expands that group when sending the email. So when sending to an exchange list evolution actually sends to the individual members of the group, not to the group address. Now, if it handles local lists the same way (and I don't know because I don't use local lists), you could copy the list membership from the resulting email. -- Art Alexion MIS ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Re: [Evolution] Evo 2.26.1 + message from Hotmail with attachments + forwarding, seems to result in lost JPEG attachments

Try to experiment a bit, e.g. ask your correspondent to send you a message from Hotmail with only a single JPEG attachment, try the same thing with other correspondents on Hotmail, etc. Then report a bug to Bugzilla. In the meantime, you should be able to drag and drop attachments from the original message into the forwarded one. If that doesn't work, it definitely should be reported. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Evo 2.26.1 + message from Hotmail with attachments + forwarding, seems to result in lost JPEG attachments
Hi all, Is this a known bug? I've searched bugzilla, but can't see it, yet it seems odd, so I'm assuming someone must have seen it before. Details as follows: I have an HTML email that I have received, with 7 attachments (i.e. Evolution says "7 attachments" and then has the "Save All" button, and at the end of the email there are 7 attachment items I can do various things to). There are also some inline html-img-tag images in the HTML message (as part of someone's signature), but I don't care about those. For the 7 attachments: * One of these attachments is word .doc file. * One of these attachments is a PDF file. * The remaining 5 attachments are all JPEG images. I can view all these attachments fine in the original mail (by going "Open in OpenOffice.org Word Processor..." for the .doc, "Open in Document Viewer..." for the PDF, and "View Inline" for the JPEGs). So far, it's all good. Now I try to forward this email, by clicking the "Forward" button, and the weirdness begins. Forwarding changes the message format to plain-text (since that's my preference), _but_ the message now has just 2 attachments - the .doc and the .pdf. The 5 JPEG attachments have simply vanished. I have tried changing my default outgoing mail format to HTML (by going Edit -> Preferences -> Composer preferences -> "General" tab -> tick "Format messages in HTML"), and have tried forwarding this way, and whilst it is definitely now an HTML email, I still only see the same 2 attachments, and the 5 JPEGs are still missing. I have tried sending the mail to myself through evolution to see if I really do only get two attachments (in case the 5 images are actually attached but just aren't showing), and I really do only get the 2 attachments. I have restarted evolution (File -> Quit, then start Evo again), in case that was the problem, and have then retried sending the message to myself, but it makes no difference, still only 2 attachments. There are spaces in the name the .doc file, but the PDF and the JPEGs do not appear to have any spaces in their names. The server I'm using is gmail (for both the received mail and the server I'm trying to forward it through) - receiving by IMAP, sending by SMTP. Evolution version is 2.26.1, distro is Ubuntu 9.04 I have logged into gmail's web interface, and it shows an attachment icon, and I can view the 7 attachments there too. I have then forwarded myself this message through gmail's web interface and it appears fine, with all 7 attachments when viewing the self-forwarded message I receive (in both gmail and in Evolution). So as far as I can tell from this test, this is an Evolution problem. The only other weird thing is that in Evolution's list of messages, that the original message does not have a paper-clip icon to show that it has attachments, which seems a bit weird, as all other messages with attachments do. The original message was sent from a hotmail account, and I can be certain that the person who sent it didn't intentionally try to do anything weird or mess with the headers or anything (the sender is my sister, and her interest in computers or software is basically zero) - the attachments would I presume have been added using hotmail's standard method. Also, if I forward myself the message through gmail's web interface, and then in turn forwarded that forwarded message to myself using Evolution, then that works fine, and has all 7 attachments. So based on the above, the common factors seem to be: Email with multiple attachments including some JPEGs, sent from Hotmail, forwarded using Evolution, results in lost JPEG attachments. Anyone else seen this or anything like it, or should I log a new bug? -- All the best, Nick. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
