Hi, you cannot do it per sender (as the thread subject says), you can do it only globally, in Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->HTML Messages-> Plain Text Mode. The 3.40 will have an improvement for HTML-only mails: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/353 Bye, Milan ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

If you right click in the body of an HTML message, you should have an option to view plain text version.

[Evolution] Force emails for certain senders to view as plain text
I've created a Gmail account that is used solely for sending me updates from various Python programs that I've written. Unfortunately, the Python module I'm using (yagmail) doesn't seem to have an option to send emails as plain text. I've also tried to find a setting on the Gmail website to default all sent mail as plain text, but this doesn't exist. While I'm in contact with the author of yagmail on getting this resolved, is there any way for Evolution to allow me to view an email as plain text, no matter what format it was written in? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

The option is not about the zoom, it's really about the minimum font size. Quoting from the WebKitGTK documentation: The minimum font size in pixels used to display text. This setting controls the absolute smallest size. Values other than 0 can potentially break page layouts. Thus that Evolution forced its own value there was kind of a bad idea. One idea I saw in a phone mail client that seemed to work well combines minimum font and zoom. Zoom is applied until the smallest font is at least the minimum size. Everything else gets bigger. This preserves the page layout at the expense of scrolling, but the user is of course able to use pinch-zoom to see the entire message. That might be a good option for Evolution if someone is reworking the HTML display code. -- 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
Re: [Evolution] Stuck on fetching POP3 mail, how to debug?
Unrelated to any previous post, hence no quote: Since I started Evfolution with debugging, it got almost never again stuck on fetching mails. Yesterday it happened again, and since I had the time, I just let it sit at it again. Btw: I haven't looked into the further debugging some of you mentioned before, sry. Anyway, after quite some time, probably two hours or more, Evolution decided to wake up and unfreeze again. At that point it looked just like it orderly finished its transmission. Concluding I have to say: This is way too random for me to put any effort into it and try to diagnose. I will look into it again if the frequency increases. Thanks for the many patient hints and tips. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Works for me, with an Undelivered message notification from the server. I tried with value 50, which made the text super-large. Remember, it's pixels. If you are on hiDPI, then maybe the value should be larger. In any case, the drawing is handled by WebKitGTK, thus if anything doesn't work it might be a question for them. Evolution only sets the value.

Right, it was just an suggestion but I though you had removed something, like Minimum font size? Also, I just noted that Min font size didn't really work for HTML mails(from Outlook), still at original size. Should not min font size affect all HTML mail, regardless of abs. font size?

Hi, if you mean when reading HTML mails, then you can Ctrl+MouseWheel to change the zoom temporarily, or you can limit the minimum font size in Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->General tab->Message Display section->Minimum Font Size option. Evolution used to set it, but I removed it for the 3.38.0.

Hi, apart of Patrick's question (the version of the Evolution is more important than the version of the distribution of your choice), what is the format of the mail directory you want to connect to, please? I guess it's either MBOX or Maildir. You can add an account (through menu File->New->Mail Account) of type either MBOX or Maildir (and some other), which lets you choose where the actual data is stored. > I cannot find the install folder This might help, though note that is private data of the application.

[Evolution] mail folder on external drive
Hello, Long time Thunderbird user running ubuntu 18.04. want to specify that the folder into which a particular email account stores messages, is one that is on an external USB drive, operating thru veracrypt. I cannot find a way thru the gui, to select that folder, as opposed to a limited number "in this compuer". furthermore, I cannot find the install folder (i installed it via "ubuntu software" the default archive) such that no matter where I do put the storage, I can copy such files for backup purposes (I can readily ID other programs that are installed). Thank you for any help on both questions (or with anything else one might want to tell me as the new user I am). robert -- Sent from: http://gnome-evolution-general.1774414.n4.nabble.com/ ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
