[Evolution] change request
It is not clear on the GNOME Evolution web page where to submit requests for changes to the application. Maybe someone can add this for me. Request to change the Evolution settings window. Please change the Compose section of Settings to not use the words "start typing" because this is interpreted to mean "you are not supposed to start typing". See quote below.

Re: [Evolution] Buckup & Restore command dont work UPDATE and Thanks
No, the cursor is at the top because that is where you start typing. This is explicit in the default setting, which you want anyone replying on this list to change to "start typing at the bottom". So this IS weird because this is a forum for Evolution, but you don't want the members to use the default setting. Maybe weird is not the right adjective. How about uncanny? I would finish with a smiley, but I already know you'll don't like that.

Re: [Evolution] Buckup & Restore command dont work UPDATE and Thanks
The default setting in Evolution is to begin the rely above the quote, and it just seems a bit weird to suggest otherwise.

You are presuming that the global majority are using unformatted text. There may be a few FreeBSD and Linux users not using a GUI, but how can you think they are setting the trend and that this is where 21st century messaging is at? 2019 is all about dynamic content, not plain text.

A Search folder could approximate a conversation, but that is really messy. It is also the same as having just a single folder for ALL messages. The beauty of conversations is that you can keep your extended folder tree, but messages in any of those folders, if part of a thread, will be displayed as a conversation without having to move them to a common folder. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

It's unclear to me what this means. I have this same requirement but have not been able to find a setting to change it. Maybe I am missing something. When viewing a message in a separate window, after I delete the message, I prefer to go back to the message list rather than have the next message in the list displayed in the separate window. I guess it is just something I got used to with other mail clients. But it is not a big deal for me as the benefits of Evolution far outweigh the few habits I formed with other applications. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Thanks Ralf. Your detailed example made complete sense. I guess that the Evolution warning/information bar will remain yellow with every trust setting except ultimate.

Using "gpg --list-keys" verifies that it is there, and in Seahorse I see that I have signed the key as trusted. But the yellow bar in Evolution has not changed. If I remove the key from Seahorse, then the bar changes to grey saying that the message is signed but there is no public key in my keyring.

That works fine on my computer until I go to the Calendar tab. Then the side bar width is reset to what it was and can no longer be dragged narrower in the Mail tab. Restarting Evolution will allow the Mail side bar to be narrower until I go to the Calendar again. Dragging wider is not affected. Andre, is this maybe because of a minimum width imposed in the Calendar tab, either by default or because of a calendar name that is restricting the width?

Yes, you are absolutely correct about what I want, and you also have a few good points. However, there is the message pane that appears below the tool bar when things go wrong, so that just seems like double notifications. I guess I just need to adjust if I can't have it setup to what I am used to. Except for this issue and the RSS problem, I am quite happy with Evolution.
