this morning, i was reading this thread when i suddenly realized that i just had this problem: i needed to link a task with a contact and with an email. Something that would go like this: when i open the email, i should notice that a task is linked somehow, and reverse, when i check the task to see to what exactly email it may reference. The email is already pointing to the contact ( the From: ), but the task not, so i have no other option to duplicate each time the Name and the Telefon in the subject of the task. Moreon, when i open a contact, i can't tell which tasks are related, except searching in the task for his name. As i am quite not so actual with the code of evolution, i don't know what exactly such a "object" linking/referencing would imply. Let the better ones speak their pro/contra arguments. In my view, such an option/feature would be quite neat...i could be wrong too. of course, this should not be seen as a replacement for a real request tracker, but that would make at least me impressively productive, and that's a very good point for the PHBs in my company to move on linux/evolution. have a nice day!
