It may be useful to have a gender field in the contacts, though I can't think of a good reason at the moment; I don't think that field is derivable from anything else that currently exists. > > The reason is OO.o will vary it's salutation on gender; ie. > > Dear Mrs. Foo > Dear Mr. Foo Err... isn't the "title" field what you really need? This varies much more than purely with gender, to the point that the OO.org feature sounds useless in the locales I'm personally familiar with: most unmarried women in the UK and US I know would be offended to receive a "Dear Mrs. Foo". I also know a female "Dr" who has fought a multiyear battle with her bank to get her title correct in their correspondence. > > etc. - now one can argue whether this is broken etc. but there it > is ;-) the current ergonomics are rather built around this - and, you > can see that such a boolean internationalizes rather nicely.

Sounds like OO.o's mail merge is broken :-) Dave ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
Re: [Evolution-hackers] camel_store_get_folder_info() memory handling
CamelStore::free_folder_info()'s v.method can be overridden, so it's really up to your CamelStore implementation. The consumer of the ::get_folder_info() API is supposed to call ::free_folder_info(), but since it can be overridden - you can make it noop, free the info, or free some subset of the info (e.g. it could free the structs but not the strings or some such if the strings point to some internal memory). There are at least 2 convenience implementations in camel-store.h, one is a noop and one is a free-all type. Hope that helps, Jeff On Wed, 2006-02-15 at 14:21 +0100, Jules Colding wrote: > Hi, > > Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have suddenly become in doubt > about who "owns" the memory returned by camel_store_get_folder_info(). > > camel_store_get_folder_info() returns a CamelFolderInfo* so the memory > pointed returned by my provider implementation of get_folder_info() must > be freed by the caller.

[Evolution-hackers] camel_store_get_folder_info() memory handling
Hi, Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have suddenly become in doubt about who "owns" the memory returned by camel_store_get_folder_info(). camel_store_get_folder_info() returns a CamelFolderInfo* so the memory pointed returned by my provider implementation of get_folder_info() must be freed by the caller. Is that correct? Thanks, jules ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
[Evolution-hackers] Gender ...
So, At the risk of offending the gender-confused; it would be -extremely- useful to have a Gender boolean in the evolution addresbook [ of course, perhaps there is & I'm just missing it but I dug into the code ]. The reason is OO.o will vary it's salutation on gender; ie. Dear Mrs. Foo Dear Mr. Foo etc. - now one can argue whether this is broken etc. but there it is ;-) the current ergonomics are rather built around this - and, you can see that such a boolean internationalizes rather nicely. So - the question is: can we have it ? currently the OO.o mail merge is rather feeble without it.
