I'd hate to use Thunderbird instead of Evolution I'm not completely familiar with either one, but if this is a Snap or Flatpak package they run in a sandbox which restricts their access to your files. It sounds to me as if your sandbox isn't allowing access to your files. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/845644/allow-snap-apps-to-access-data-from-outside-of-container There might also be something useful in here, although it seems more aimed at developers: http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions-reference.html -- Knowledge is Power -- Power Corrupts Study Hard -- Be Evil ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Error loading attachments - version 3.32.3 (flatpak git)
Hello, I decided to switch my main computer from Windows to Linux. After comparing between Thunderbird and Evolution, I went with Evolution (really liked) and struggled a bit migrating my PST file.

That doesn't help users who want to send HTML formatted emails by default, even if people aren't in the address book. Reasons for some people to use HTML by default could be that in their business plain text mails are very unusual/freakish or that they are in contact with many people who read their emails on smart phones, were auto-wrapped text is unwanted, regarding the small sized screens. Footnote: I prefer plain text over HTML and don't care about people who wish to receive HTML. As a side note, Evolutions's HTML formatted emails could look disgusting on Windows mail clients, don't expect that inserted images are even viewed completely. IOW if HTML is important to you, consider to use another mail client. If you really want to please smart phone users, you still could use plain text, but use the option "Performatted" instead of "Normal", so the smart phone users could do the line wrapping with the mail clients. IMO nobody should please smart phone users. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

My default is HTML, but it would be very useful when replying to messages either from specific senders or by folder, to have the reply automatically in plain text. Like replying to this list. We already have the Send account override in folder settings, it would be nice to have a send format override as well.
