Certainly, though the functionality is in the gtkhtml pane, rather than Evolution. To change gtkhtml keybindings, go to the Control Center and 'Document Handlers->HTML Viewer->Keyboard Shortcuts'; there is an 'emacs-like' default, which is probably what you're after.

It seems that even Evolution doesn't, from the examples of discussion on here that I've seen - for example, our calendaring at the moment is p2p, right? How will Evo(GPL) handle this when Evo(Proprietary) appears? Is it really planned to have a version of iCal that wanders around client->client as well as a version that talks to servers? It all sounds a bit, um, icky. And I'm guessing that the development of the connector isn't going to be at all publically discussed. And I'm a little frustrated that the mail client that I thought was this huge effort on the part of the community to write the app that's going to be a /huge/ part in bringing Linux to the desktop is only going to be the answer to Outlook in a "Yeah, use Evolution. It's cool. Oh, but you have to pay for Exchange interoperability." way, and that no-one mentioned this before. Feels almost like we have to start again, to find another way of arguing "Linux is free. You can do _this_ with it." to our bosses. Anyway. Someone had to rant. I think the more fair argument is that, well, /I/ haven't put any code into Evo. And most of us haven't. And there's no way in hell it'd be here if Ximian hadn't hired people and all of this, so it's at least justified. But enough.

I guessed at the time that it was a problem with my X install, but perhaps not; I tried exporting Evo to my SGI machine, running IRIX 6.5.

They're all there, in: ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox# for locally stored ~/evolution/local/Inbox/subfolders/$folder/mbox # mail, as mbox files. and ~/evolution/mail/imap/$address/$folder/ # for remote mail.

I still think this is a nice idea; but in case you hadn't realised, you
can already access your Evolution mailboxes from a console session. Evo
stores mailboxes in mbox (or maildir, if you prefer) format, in
$evolution/local/Inbox/{mbox,Subfolders/*/mbox}, and you can pass these
as arguments to an MUA like mutt, or even less/more if you're stuck.

While it's often not the most reliable news source, slashdot's article on 7.2's release states the following: If you're upgrading from the previous Red Hat 7.1 and you're using Ximian GNOME, then you might want to erase all Ximian GNOME RPMS (use the command: rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep -i ximian` --nodeps to erase the RPMS). Red Hat's GNOME RPMS has been more tested then Ximian's one and there is a conflict between them. You cannot use Red-Carpet on Redhat 7.2 as it will fail with the RPM libraries. Not that I can make an immense amount of sense of the English or technical meaning in there, but it seems that things aren't too well supported at the moment. I'm sure that RH7.2 is one of Ximian's main target platforms, though, so it won't be too long before things are fixed. ~C. -- $a="printf.net"; Chris Ball | chris@void.$a | www.$a | finger: chris@$a "In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded."

[Evolution] Evolution's mbox support
Hi, all. Firstly, I've just upgraded to 0.15 from 0.12; congratulations to all involved. I've decided to install xbuffy on my laptop and have it run over X/ssh to my work machine, reading ~/evolution/local/@folders/mbox - it seemed like a good idea at the time. xbuffy works fine in 'original mode'; giving the total mail count rather than unread. The unread count, though, seems to stay at 0 whether a message is unread or not. On further investigation, it seems Evolution doesn't change the 'Status:' header at all. Why is this?
