Roland, Set your preferences to "Inline" or "Quoted" reply instead of "As Attachment". That was an easy one!
Regardinf the "unusability" of Evolution, it doesn't stop there: 1 - No POP mail downloading for some servers (I will beat on this one to death or until it's fixed) 2 - Another one I found out last night: when composing an e-mail message, you can't simply drag and drop a file to attach to a message. All you you get is the path where the file is. You have to click on the "Attach" icon on the composer window and choose your file. Needless to say, this WORKED before with Evo 1.2.x Also, I am not sure you noticed, but Evo 1.4.1 is taking just as long to be released as any proprietary (namely M$) "patch". And yes, I am using Outlook to compose this message because at work I can't do anything else. At least, it works foro the most part.

There are two issues which makes evolution 1.4 unusable, both concerns the composer. 1) Emacs style editing keys in composer doesn't work. (for someone having used emacs for the last 23 years, this is VERY annoying). 2) When replying to mails, the whole message is considered one "chunk" in a way. I can't insert and remove text between the "> -lines" This makes replying to messages unusable. example: > in a reply message like this, you may have issue one here I reply to issue one. > and this is about issue two. here I reply to issue two. This is very basic and fundamental, and in evolution 1.4 I can't edit the mails in the way I want. To be able to reply to a mail I have to copy it to emacs anyway, where I can edit it, and then send it back. A better idea then would maybe be to have the possibility to use emacsclient for composing instead. Roland PS. of course, as this is open source (GPL?, didn't check) I could start my own fork of (r)evolution... _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
