As a CLI guy, I looked first for a menu selection and didn't see one for this. (exmh has such a selection, for example.) Dragging doesn't come naturally to me. I will admit that dragging and dropping is far from perfect: I usually have my Evo window maximized in one of my desktops, so in order to drag and drop I have to un-maximize it (otherwise when I click on the message in the summary that window comes to the foreground, hiding the mail window I want to drag to). Maybe there is some fancy keybindings that would resolve this issue, but it would be very nice (and simpler) to have a cut/paste paradigm around messages and attachments. Luckily I very rarely want to attach messages like this: I simply reply and add others as CC etc. or else I do a forward. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Evolution customization
I asked about: * Copy outgoing messages to the Sent folder automatically, without needing to add myself as a Bcc. Kåre Fiedler Christiansen pointed me to the correct configuration menu. Thanks. * Use text labels on /all/ buttons, not just the switcher? (I hate pictures.) Akhil Laddha pointed to how to configure Gnome. I use KDE (in part because it understands about this preference) but I can still configure Gnome. The setting doesn't have any effect. Kåre says that can no longer be set in Gnome. The key still exists in Gconf but seems to be useless. * Attach a message to an outgoing message. Note, this is not the same as forwarding a message. I may want to attach a different message to a reply, for example. Several people suggested dragging. Thanks. Without any mention on the attachment menu, I would not naturally think of this. * Suppress some of the folders shown in the side bar. I really don't want to use up the top of my screen with crap folders just because Exchange insists they exist. Apparently not (yet?) supported. Please count me as eager for the fix. * Use a different date/time format, specifically -MM-DD HH:MM. And use it all the time, even on messages received today. Milan Crha pointed out that, although the field appears to be a drop-down menu, it does accept direct entries. And they work.

It works for me, to just drag messages from the summary window and drop them into the attachment bar of an email message. I can even select a bunch of messages and drag them over.
