Why not just use the mail command? e.g. $ echo short msg for boy | mail -a file-to-attach recipi...@zone.foo I realise it may require setting up sendmail (or equivalent) on your local machine, but that's not a tremendously difficult thing. I do run sendmail on all my FreeBSD laptops, even on my netbook where I am typing this lines now, and not only sendmail, but SASL and SSL to my SMTP provider; no problem with this; but in my business world I have to use a MS Exchange server without SMTP and POP, only OWA, and for this I have to use either OutLook or Evo (free of this restriction I never would use Evo, but 'mutt' as MUA); sometimes I need send out mail in my office in some kind of batch mode, to organize projects or whatever, and it would be very usefull to be able to queue-in such messages from the cmd line (or even from shell scripts) just into the normal Evo infrastructure, i.e. that they go their way upstream as sent from Evo itself; do you understand now what I am asking for? Yes, of course I do - you never said though that Exchange was involved, if you did I wouldn't have suggested using the mail command. You asked for a command line mode to send emails, I gave you a suggestion. OK, more suggestions. Is it MAPI you are using? If so, then there are various python/php/perl MAPI libraries you could use to interface with the Exchange server. I'm sure if you look hard enough there are also EWS variants. Also, you could look at DavMAIL - that implements a local SMTP port (amongst many other things) as a bridge to an Exchange server - it will talk either MAPI or EWS. (You can change the port number used for the local SMTP port so it doesn't clash with your current sendmail/SMTP configuration.) I *know* this isn't using the Evo infrastructure to send the mail, but since that is not currently possible, these are just some alternate suggestions.

I think so. I wonder if it is possible to utilize Evolution to send an e-mail via D-Bus? I know other information can be managed via the bus. But I only see org.evolution.Calendar? , org.evolution.AddressBook? , org.gnome.EvolutionAlarmNotify, and org.gnome.Evolution [which is generic application control]. Nothing that seems to pertain to mail. Bummer. If mail was exposed that would be a simple means for all manner of tools. I gave you a suggestion. Thanks for them and the new ones in any case.

You don't need Evolution for that. You can also put pre-composed messages directly into Evolution's Drafts folder, and then open them in the composer and just hit 'send'. I don't know if it's possible to trigger that send step from outside the UI though; I suspect not but it may well be possible to fix that. And of course you *can* specify a lot of things, including a message body, in a mailto: URL and have Evolution honour them all. But I don't think it goes as far as attachments.

[Evolution] Avoiding automatic marking as read
Sorry for the obscure subject line but I couldn't think of a better one. I've just installed Evo 3.4.1 on Fedora 17 and seem to be having a Senior Moment. There used to be a setting to adjust the time after which Evo would automatically mark an opened message as read, but I can't seem to find it now. If this has been eliminated I'll be seriously upset. My mode of working is to leave messages flagged as new until I've dealt with them, then mark them as read manually. The aforementioned setting used to accommodate that, but now diligent searching in the Preferences pane has failed to turn it up.
