This is very cool -- thank you. Two questions On invocation of the external editor, would it be possible to pass line/column information to the external editor so that the cursor would be positioned in the same location as in the composer? EX: gvim -f +call cursor($line,$col) And, could the plugin utilize a constant prefix for the gvim tmp file ala /tmp/.evo4XRLUU rather than just /tmp/.4XLRUU ( the /tmp/.4XLRUU is the tmp file name created for this email -- used as an example) That way, users can set their [g]vimrc file to recognize the files as emails ala... " set up syntax highlighting for my e-mail au BufRead,BufNewFile .followup,.article,.letter,/tmp/.evo*,/tmp/pico*,nn.*,snd.*,/tmp/mutt* :set ft=mail I'll try to find a few minutes to look through the plugin code and see if it's something that I might be able to provide a patch[es] for. thanks, reid _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
