Read back to the beginning of this thread. AFAIK there is no support for time-based scripting in Evo.

(this one is for 2.22 > evolution/2.22/ui/evolution-mail-message.xml) so, it shouldn't be hard. I still think you'll have a hard time convincing the powers-that-be in Evo that this is a good idea. It *may* solve one specific problem, but it introduces a lot of noise in the design and makes the deletion model much harder to describe. It might be more palatable not to try and overload Delete, but to introduce a new primitive: Archive, with the property of moving stuff around in the way you describe. I note that Thunderbird 3 will support some kind of archiving (no idea if it's similar to what you propose) so maybe it's not out of the question. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
