Public bug reported:
Package: evolution-2.26.1-0ubuntu2
Release: Ubuntu 9.04
Architecture: amd64
Description:
I modified a plain text signature to become an HTML encoded signature. The
newly modified signature was correctly rendered in new mails until I restarted
Evolution. After Evolution restart, the signature was inserted as plain text
and HTML code appeared instead of being rendered.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1) Create a plain text signature in Evolution.
2) Close Evolution.
3) Restart Evolution and modify signature type (plain -> HTML).
4) Close Evolution.
5) Restart Evolution and compose a new mail. Insert the signature. HTML code
appears as text instead of being rendered.
Workaround:
1) Close Evolution.
2) Launch gconf-editor and modify the key /apps/evolution/mail/signatures
(which contains the list of signatures used by evolution) the following way :
2.1) Find the problematic signature in the list.
2.2) Change "format" attribut of tag "signature" from "text/plain" to
"text/html".
3) Start Evolution, the signature should be rendered correctly in new mails.
It seems, regarding the workaround, that evolution does not update the
format of signature in gconf database.
