Right. > b) There is no signature. Even though the Signature dropdown shows my > default accounts signature name, there is none. Which is a bug. Almost never use signatures so I hadn't noticed this. > Specifically, this is a bug in the mailto: behavior of Evo.

I can't say that Evo's behaviour is strictly wrong, since all it's doing is what Firefox is telling it, i.e. create a message with a given Body. The Evo developers could argue that adding an extra line in Normal format is exceeding the spec. It's what I want in this case, but is it always what I want? Neither can we ask Firefox to know about Evo's formatting features. One solution would be an extra Evo command line option to allow callers to ask for strict/nonstrict inclusion of the body text. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
