Citation needed. Xan Lopez said he wasn't aware of any problems or plans to drop the API when I asked him about this after the IRC meeting, and the bug you opened includes a comment with a possible solution: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63451 > So I decided to go similar way Anjal > does, splitting the email display into multiple webviews.

IIRC, Srini told me told me at the Boston Summit last year that this approach for Anjal was fine for display but derailed when it came time to print. Maybe Srini can comment further? (CC'ing him) Certain attachment types can be excluded from printouts, but I believe we do print image attachments and certainly any textual MIME parts, including message/rfc822. The printed layout should mimic the displayed layout for all printable MIME types. The advantage of a single WebKitWebView is when it's time to print, you just hand the thing over to WebKit and let it deal with it (for the most part). Don't get me wrong, the design you're proposing sounds sensible _if_ you can overcome the printing issue. I'm just pointing out the known speed bumps on this road. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
