[Evolution] open a single e-mail from a file
If I had a single e-mail in mbox format in a file, is there any way to get evolution (2.4.24) to simply open that message in a message reading window? I am aware that I can use File->Import to read it into an existing folder, but that's a bit cumbersome to simply open a message, say, to be able to reply to it. Here's the use-case. Some mailing list archivers, like "lurker" will allow you to download a single message as a "message/rfc822" Content-Type. For example if you look at this archive message: http://teams.debian.net/lurker/message/20090127.204350.b75d5f48.en.html you can see in the top right corner there is an "Attachments:" box. The first is a "Message as e-mail", which if yo click on it, you will get the full message with a content-type of "message/rfc822". It would be nice to be able to easily get that message in an evolution reading window, say, to reply to it.

Short answer: not easily. Longer answer: there are two issues here. Firstly, Evo has no mechanism for time-based triggers so in any case you'd have to do it via a script outside of Evo. However this could be done in principle. Perhaps it could also be done with a plugin, I'm not sure. More importantly, IMAP Expunge works on an entire folder (or 'mailbox' in IMAP terminology) at a time. You can't expunge an individual message. Thus you can't select what to zap and what to leave based only on their ages. You'd need to sort candidate messages into some special 'death-row' folder and then expunge that. However that actually make the problem worse, given that IMAP has no 'move' operation. It would have to copy the message and then delete the original. But that leaves us back where we started ... I think MUAs that allow this do it by not following the IMAP deletion model i.e. they support a physical Trash folder rather than Evo's virtual Trash. That would make it possible, but at the cost of a fairly radical change to Evo and a loss of efficiency at the server end. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Unfortunately it only works if the list is set up correctly and uses the appropriate List-* headers. Not all of them do. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I have so much times replied by mistake to the sender, instead to the list… So Evolution is better than Gmail.
