Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Hi, you know how some companies' email addresses on their website are
not given but they have an 'email us' form to be filled in (- which
usually defaults to the Microsoft email handling program in Windows, or
to evolution in Ubuntu) and sometimes all one wants is the email address
itself for later use, or to be used from yahoo, etc...? When I want to
get this email address and click on the 'contact us by email' part of a
website, all I want is for the form to open so that I can get that email
address - but with the Ubuntu/Firefox, Evolution tries to open its setup
automatically (- and I really don't want to give it mail information as
I don't want it to handle my email at all at the moment - I use yahoo
directly). It appears that without setting up Evolution I will never be
able to see that address. Please can you make it so that either
evolution does not open except to a basic default level such that the
email address (on a blank email form) can be seen, and/or with no
necessity to enter my email details or have it handle my emails?
What I can say is that Windows has never been set up to handle my emails
but when running WIndows I can get that form (with the email address) on
screen, copy that address, and immediately close the form with no more
ado - then use it at leisure or copy and paste it into yahoo.
At present in Ubuntu I don't see a way I can obtain such an email
address without setting up/using Evolution - and that is not desirable.
Many thanks, Jules
