Re: [gentoo-user] Question about Evolution 1.4
How did you go about importing your old (1.2.4) contacts and calendar? For me, I had mixed results - on one system my accounts were preserved but no contacts/calendar, and on the other system it was as if I had started clean. Other than that, Evolution 1.4.0 has worked fantastically. On Sun, 2003-06-29 at 11:04, Steven R. Ringwald wrote: I apologise in advance if this question has already been asked. Any idea when the Evolution 1.4 ebuild is going to blessed as being as stable as the 1.2.4 ebuild? I have been using it for a day or two, and it seems to be as stable as the 1.2 series so far. I know that my results may be different than other people's; just wondering what others thought. Thanks! Steve Ringwald signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It seemed to recognize everything automagically, as I still have my contacts folder and calendar stuff intact. Steve -- Steven R. Ringwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asric Consulting Services
Re: [gentoo-user] Question about Evolution 1.4
Since you are using 1.4, maybe you can answer a question I have about it. How does it handle signitures? Does it still add your signiture to the bottom of the entire e-mail, even if replying top-style? Thanks! Hopefully it'll go stable soon -Jon GenKiller Gaudette http://www.digital-drip.com On Sun, 2003-06-29 at 12:04, Steven R.

I submitted a bug-report a long while back stating that while they may prefer bottom-centric emails, there are corporations out there looking to get away from Exchange/Outlook that require top-posting. I should know; I watched a 1000 client-license opportunity for Ximian Connector die just for that reason. Netiquette is one thing; corporate policy is sometimes quite another. Thanks! Hopefully it'll go stable soon Yeah. I am hoping the same thing. As I mentioned, seems as stable (if not more so) than the currently available and seems to be at least 2x faster. Steve -- Steven R.

Given that replying above a message is hard to read, I'm not sure I'd want an MUA that encouraged it. Encourage is one thing; force to the point of being inconvenient is quite another. Some corporate managers like top posting, because they can get a feel for the message thread without having to read from the bottom up. But then, as we all know, all corporate managers are like Dilbert's manager. :-) Steve -- Steven R. Ringwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asric Consulting Services

Steve See, that's really too bad. You would think they would want to change something like that, especially in your Connector license situation!
