[Evolution] newbie question about filters
I'm on some mailing lists that generate a LOT of content. I want to route these messages into a folder. I've set up a filter rule for this, and it seems to be working, but I have to select a group of messages, then do control-Y, and then the filter gets applied. Isn't there some way for the filters I've set up to be applied to incoming messages without any intervention on my part? That is, once a message comes in that fits that filter rule, it gets moved, no "select messages, control-Y" required. Can I make the filter run at some set period, like every 15 minutes? -- Benjamin May Sr. Research Analyst +(212) 851-4772 ma...@columbia.edu -- This electronic message is intended to be for the use only of the named recipient, and may contain information that is confidential or privileged.

[Evolution] yet another newb question
When I copy and paste cells from openoffice spreadsheet into evo, the cells are converted into an image. Is there a way to have them put into the email body as an HTML table rather than a static image?

We'll NEVER get the bottom-posters to agree that anything other than bottom-posting is acceptable, and you'll NEVER get people who aren't aware of the argument or who are agnostic to its outcome to follow all the rules unless they're enforced by ALL clients which will never happen.

[Evolution] top versus bottom posting and the "control-L" function
All this discussion of top versus bottom posting got me thinking. If
there's ALREADY a function in evolution specifically for replying to
mailing lists, couldn't we add configurations where you set:
For regular reply or reply-to-all: {Use top posting / Use bottom
posting}
For reply-to-mailing lists (ie: control-L): {use top posting / use
bottom posting}
Just a thought. :)

At least not since I gave up on the MAPI plugin which was causing MASSIVE memory leaks.

Re: [Evolution] Sig placement
I just wanted to say I find it amusing that my original question about a small feature in evolution led to this fascinating discussion about internet behavior and best practices. I work in the field of medicine and I have to concur with the below. I work with doctors (PLURAL!) who have assistants whose sole job is to make PRINTOUTS of every email that they receive, and then transcribe hand-written responses back into their email clients for them. I have to conform my email practices into the environment in which I operate.

Re: [Evolution] Sig placement [Was: newbie questions]
I dont entirely disagree with you. The problem is that there are frequently circumstances under which having my sig appear at the bottom of a long quoted message is impractical. For example, due to my position, I am frequently forwarded long email exchanges to which I was not originally privy. I respond to a whole new group of recipients, leaving the entire previous discussion untouched so that the context of what has occurred is evident. In this situation, it makes no sense for my signature to appear after many pages of quoted text. In the abstract, it would be nice if everybody followed best-practices WRT email formation, but we live in the real world where people do not behave rationally and I am in a position where I need to keep a written record of everything I say and is said to me through email :) On Sun, 2009-09-27 at 14:09 -0400, Adam Tauno Williams wrote: > > - Is there a way to make my signature appear in every email without > > having to explicitly pick it?

[Evolution] newbie questions
Just upgraded from a pentium 4 running XP to a dual quad core xeon running ubuntu 64bit and so far I love it! I am using evolution mail and have a couple of super super newbie questions: - In the calendar, the alerts that pop up are transient and only last a few seconds. Is there a way to make them stay up until I dismiss them? - I, unfortunately, connect to two email systems, one of which is IMAP and the other of which is Exchange 2007. I was able to successfully install the Exchange MAPI plugin and connect to the necessary exchange server. It works great except that last night I left evolution running and when I came in the next day, the evolution-data-server-2.26 process was using up 3.2G of ram and almost 20G of swap (!!!). If I turn of MAPI then resource usage is much more reasonable. Is this a known problem with evolution under ubuntu 9? - Is there a way to make my signature appear in every email without having to explicitly pick it? Also, if I am replying to a message it appears to put my sig at the bottom of the entire message, whereas I want to appear at the bottom only of my text. Any help appreciated! ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
