[Evolution] Spell Checking Subject Line
I have not looked at the plugin structure for Evolution, but does anyone know what the feasibility of adding spell checking to the subject line would be. It absolutely blows me away that more apps don't do this (especially Outlook). I think it would be a nice feature for Evolution to have. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Every email is plain text, cannot view HTML emails
Hey all, i'm new to evolution and have downloaded the most recent stable version 2.22. I have conpleted convert from outlook and i able to use just about everything as before, which is great! My problem is that i do get quite a few HTML emails, and every time i preview or open them all i see is HTML code as if they are being viewed as plain text. I have searched these forums dry and i have not found an answer to my questions. I did read about a eplugin that allowed you to alter between the two viewing options, but i never saw a link or how to install. Has anyone any suggestions how i can view HTML emails? Just one other thing, most of my emails are from IMAP servers, will this make a difference?

The Prefer Plain plugin is one which allows to choose whether to show the plaintext or HTML in case there is a chance for a choice. You can find that plugin in Edit->Plugins, but the setup itself is in Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences, tab HTML Messages, section Plain Text Mode (if the plugin is enabled). But that plugin will not help with this at all. I can imagine some patch for the plugin to allow showing this as "expected", somehow. Feel free to file a bug in http://bugzilla.gnome.org against Evolution, and if you can, attach there a test message too. (With stripped private data, of course).

This was requested ages ago, but I assume the team has been waiting all this time for a proper spell checking text entry widget to land in GTK+. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200683 Christian Hammond's libsexy has a SexySpellEntry widget that looks viable, but I'm not sure how stable or actively maintained it is. It's not an approved dependency for GNOME, so the SexySpellEntry code would have to be copied directly into GtkHtml and I'm hesitant to do so for the usual reasons (maintenance overhead, code divergence, etc.). That said, the time may be ripe for investigating what it would take to integrate this feature. Especially since we've shed GnomeSpell in the latest development branch.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you referring to setting the initial screen coordinates of Evolution's main window, and remembering it from session to session? Unfortunately each application has to implement this themselves. Evolution currently stores its main window /dimensions/ and maximize state, but not the screen coordinates. But they could easily be added. Apologies if I misunderstood. I'm not sure how SCIM is related.

I looked at SCIM; didn't really understand it and didn't want to; but if it was applicable, it seemed like a lot of work just to get a window placement on first opening of Evolution. Without going into a long description of how I prefer to work with Evolution or why, every time I re-boot into Linux (or close and open Evolution) I have to move Evolution around on the screen to get it placed where I want. Since I use a tight fit, its a fair amount of dicking and nudging to get it exactly on the screen where I want it. All the other programs I have set to load at startup allow Xwindows geometry, or something, that lets me specify the exact screen position. Gconf.d keys, default mode, lets me set the window size and panel sizes but not the screen position. All my other applications allow me to pre-set their +x+y (pixel count screen position) coordinates.

Now on every login, it comes back in the same place. (The position of the ULHC, but not the size, is preserved. Sounds like you already have a way to get the size you want, so maybe 1+1=2 here.)

In gnome, an application remembers its previous position as long as it is the first application on the screen. Subsequently opened applications always position themselves in the upper left corner. I have set aside workspace 3 for email & chat. That means I always have two applications open in that workspace; Evolution and Xchat. Evolution is sized to cover 80% of the width of the screen and about 75% of the height of the screen from the top down. Xchat, which allows me to configure its position, fills the bottom 25% and is equal in width to Evolution. For the way I like to work, the above arrangement serves me well; nice, neat, easy to read. I have tried screwing around with the session manager to change the order in which Evolution and Xchat load. That only works for a short while then something screws up -- I lose my session -- usually my fault, but that is irrelevant to my question. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

To get the sizes you want set as default: 1) size the Evo window and all the panels exactly as you want them. 2) In a terminal (gTerminal), open gconf-editor. 3) /apps => evolution => shell => view_defaults and evolution => mail => display click on the size keys and right click for menu; select default. That sets the default size for whenever Evolution is first opened. The mandatory option makes changing the size for whatever reason impossible after opening. Default leaves you a bit of flexibility. 4) Close; if you are not returned to user; exit in gTerm. >From then on, Evolution should always open with the default sizes you have chosen.

Bill, just for the hell of it, I tried it under Gnome (this is Fedora 9 as you probably know :-). I positioned and sized the Evo window as I like it, logged out of Gnome and back in again, fired up Evo and there it was in same position and size as I left it. I didn't play with extra workspaces, not did I explicitly save the desktop configuration, and note that I'm not auto-starting Evo (I like to keep the number of autostart apps to a minimum). Also, I use my own button which just executes Evo, rather than the builtin one which runs something called launchmail, but I can't see that making a difference.

If and only if, I am opening one application in a work space. If you have read the response I wrote you earlier you will see that I am opening two applications in one work space. In my case they are Evolution and Xchat. As I pointed out the first application to open returns to its former position but subsequent programs open in the top left corner. On the other hand; if you can get two or three or more programs to open in their former position while I cannot; then you are saying I, Gnome and Evolution have a much bigger problem than was originally suspected. If you check the bug suggested by Matthew Barnes, you will see that there is not a way yet to tell Evolution to always resume at a fixed position. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Yes, you're right. I had missed the point about it being the first application to open. Oh well, yet another reason to stick with KDE :-) poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Every email is plain text, cannot view HTML emails
Milan, thanks for getting back to me. Yes, i had read the thread you linked and got a little confused, i assume he is altering locally stored files and importing them back into evolutions. This really doesn't help with messages held on an IMAP server. The plugin sounds like the way to go. More importantly i do not have this plugin. The plugin is not enabled in the HTML messages tab and i cannot find it inthe plugin list. Do you know how i could install this plugin? Is there a site index of them ?
