It is probably a mixture of both, actually; it is an inconsistency in the user interface. When you have multiple e-mail accounts (for example, I have an IMAP e-mail account and a POP3 email account) it automatically starts composing new mail messages using the relevant account, depending on what is selected. However, if you’ve got an NNTP account selected, that behavior does not happen.
And, the “editable toolbar/menu” feature that GNOME applications are supposed to adhere to… well, Evolution doesn’t honor that, and it should. So there is no way for me to bind a key to the action of “Post to the folder I am in,” would would be the second best option; the best option, of course, would be for it to behave consistently: When I am in my Gmail account, fire off e-mail that way. When I am in my college account, fire off e-mail that way. When I am in my NNTP account, fire off a post to the newsgroup that way. :-) My comment about the priority is more of a global thing; it seems that every project makes the quirks and inconsistencies a low priority. Of course, if I knew how to fix these things myself, I would… at least, I suppose, I know how to report them. That doesn’t really say that much, though. :-/ -- NNTP posting should be auto-detected. https://launchpad.net/bugs/74894 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
