I don't want to subscribe to a mailing list. I would like the opportunity to provide feedback, which you are free to ignore or use as you see fit. I don't want to be involved in making Evolution a better product, other than sending you the occasional tidbit based on my experience as a user.
Here is today's tidbit: I have numerous problems trying to edit things in emails I am trying to send (addresses, subject lines, the content of the message). Simple typing works fine, but any type of cut and paste operation seems to have strange and unpredictable results. I realize this isn't very helpful, but it is obvious that the editor is trying to be smart about things like email address, signature blocks, and previous messages in a mail thread. What it is trying to do is unclear, so operations like trying to add paste an additional email address into one of the address lines have strange results, especially when address already exist in a line. Trying to paste text after the signature block seems impossible (it always ends up in signature block), and trying to copy text from text that was pasted into a message often results in all the previously pasted text disappearing. Personally, I would be happier with a dumb editor that just accepts whatever text I paste into it, and just tries to verify formatting on email addresses when I actually send the email. However, if I had some idea of what the editor is supposed to be doing, I might be able to learn how to use it. I have not been able to find any documentation that explains how the editor is supposed to work, particularly with respect to its builtin formatting features. I am looking for a server-centric mail client to replace evolution, so that I don't need to rebuild my address book, signatures, etc. every time I use a different computer, but have not yet found one that is acceptable. Also, I recognize that the work on this product is done by volunteers, and that is much appreciated. This email is not really a complaint, and hopefully will provide some perspective to the people doing all the work to develop this product from someone who is strictly a user of the product.
