ok, great. then my error must come from some other problem with the particular provider i tested it with today. i guess i was expecting more than one progress bar when sending to more than one server like for the receiving progress and the error message did not tell me with which message and which server the error happened. > > > > > 6) how about customizable key strokes like gimp > > > > > > I think you are referring to a bug in gtk... that isn't actually a > > > designed feature in the gimp. > > > > i know it's gtk, but in my gimp it works, in my evolution not. aren't > > they using the same gtk when running on the same machine? > > The menus in Evolution are not normal Gtk menus, they are Bonobo menus. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 7) is there any way to remove the attachment from a mail while the > > > > message? > > > > > > while the message what? > > > > sorry, typo: "keeping" the message (text). > > No, not possible. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 8) a filter based on whether the sender/recipient is in a certain > > > > contacts folder or category would be nice. > > > > > > this is already in our bug/feature-request tracking system. > > > > do you want me to enter the uncommented features in there? > > > > 9) how about preselecting the default account in the from field instead > > of the one listed first in the mail settings. > > It already does this too. didn't work for me but i just fixed it: my first account was the local linux user account but i had entered the same email address as my default account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). then the new message dialog selected always "[EMAIL PROTECTED] (<username>)" with sendmail as the smtp. now that i changed the address to <username>@localmost.mydomain it works like a charm. thanks for you time, i didn't expect it'd be that easy to get rid of these things that annoyed me. :) again: great program! bye fabian > > Jeff > > -- > Jeffrey Stedfast > Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.ximian.com > > _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
