You're partially right.
Evolution takes as input some sort of HTML format, so you have to
replace spaces used for formatting by " " (no quotes). This is the
reason for
sed -e "s/ /\ /g"
Additionally, you have to make your own HTML end-of-line, so you need:
sed -e "s/$/<br>/g"
Finally, Evolution doesn't insert the "--" line to signal the beginning
for script generated signatures. That's the reason for
echo "--<br>"
This way, using your script, I will need to use the two sed pipes in
every line. Nothing wrong with that, but I prefer using them only once
even when my script has to write three times to disk.
