Re: [Evolution] Proposal: to eliminate the digest option for the Evolution mailing list

I used to do that, but I then found that I rarely looked at them, and when I did, there were far too many emails to read. A daily summary straight into the inbox is a nice way to keep abreast of what's going on. (I don't use digest for this list, and I don't have a strong opinion about disabling them, I just thought it worth pointing out that what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for everyone). ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Incidentally, Gmail have announced that they will start using DMARC in the future, but they have taken a much more grown-up approach, and appear to be waiting for new standards to be developed (ARC) that will allow lists to continue as they were.

Well, they are marked clearly as being from a list, but Yahoo's DMARC policy prevents anyone sending emails "on behalf of", which is effectively what a list is. The only exception is when the original message is not altered, but it has to be to add subject prefix, footer etc. > Are all list EMail redirected as if from the subscriber - as if so, I > think I'm still lost as to how ANY mails then get through from the > list to me - surely all mails from the list would fail the DMARC test? Yahoo and AOL are about the only major email providers that use DMARC. It was quite controversial when they turned it on, especially with no notice.

Trouble is we don't have access to the actual bounce > message so it's basically guesswork. It's a nightmare, as the DMARC record on Yahoo email addresses can cause any other member's email address to bounce (and be removed). The DMARC record tells receivers to reject the email if not received directly from Yahoo. So some...@yahoo.com sends an email to the list, the list forwards to ot...@outlook.com, ot...@outlook.com rejects as it's not directly from yahoo.com. ot...@outlook.com then clocks up a bounce failure within the list software. The only solution is for the list software to be altered to rewrite the from address of DMARC domains, or for people with DMARC domains (e.g. @yahoo.co.uk) to use a different email address to send to the list (e.g. Gmail) As someone has already said, DMARC was never envisaged for this sort of use (instead it's for @paypal.com etc), but it looks like it's here to stay (or at least until if/when ARC is implemented for email forwarding).

[Evolution] Removing the send email keyboard shortcut
Hi guys, Is there a way to disable the Ctrl-Enter keyboard shortcut in Evolution, and/or change it to something else? I've tried redefining it using these instructions, but that doesn't seem to work, presumably because I'm not using Gnome2: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2009-March/msg00254.html I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, but with Evolution version 3.12.2 Thanks, Andy ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Specifying the font typeface
I assume that it's not possible, but just want to check anyway: can the typeface be specified when composing an HTML email in Evolution? I know it's better not to do so, but that's difficult to sell to an end-user when it can be done in other MUAs.

Sure, if someone needs to install Evo on their distro, then they use the distro's instructions. This is all about making it as easy as possible for someone to contribute to the source project. Look at the efforts LibreOffice have gone to in order to make contributing as easy as possible, and look at the results. As I said, I've been keen to contribute to the project in the past, but until today have run into problems, and I even thought that I had to compile Gnome from scratch to get the correct dependencies, before I could even think about compiling Evolution. If there was a nice and easy "here's how to get started with the source code", with some examples applicable to people's actual environment, then I expect more people would contribute to it.

I can try and keep it as general as possible, although that might end up just being "./configure && make && make install". Given that people are generally (?) going to be building it on an rpm-based or deb-based distribution, you could probably cover most scenarios with just 2 sets of instructions. Over the years I have always wanted to contribute to Evolution, but until now I haven't because: 1. I've been conscious that the package I am using in whatever distro is always a few versions behind, so any bug reports etc may not be relevant. 2. Any attempts at a "quick" build from source have always failed for me. It is only today that I have spent some time on it that I have succeeded. I'd like to share that information with the community: given that most people in my situation would start at the wiki, that seems a good place to put it. > And not "installation" instructions - installation on Fedora means "yum > install evolution" (I'm sure there's an equivalent on Ubuntu). Okay, how about: 1. Using https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Installation 2. Adding the link to the page under "get the source code" section of the main page 3. Making it clear (as per last email) that the first port of call should be the distro's package repository.

Sorry, I actually meant "building from source" ;-) Maybe that would be a better title, although whenever I go to a project's documentation I expect there to be /something/ about installation. > If the page had a big banner saying "this is for tech users only; use > the software manager of your system to install Evolution in order to not > should yourself in the foot if you don't know what you're doing" that > might work though.

[Evolution] Installation page for the Evolution wiki
Dear all, I'd like to add an "installation" page to the Evolution wiki. Before I do so, I wanted to check that I hadn't missed an existing one? At this stage I only intend to add instructions on how to install Evolution from source in Ubuntu, but of course more could follow. If I hear nothing back, then I'll create a new page on the wiki at the URL https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Installation Thanks, Andy ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
