Description Pedro Villavicencio 2007-10-17 14:20:21 UTC
This report has been filled here:


"When setting up a new account in Evolution for the first time, a fake email is "sent" to the user that talks about Evolution's features. In Gutsy, this email refers to version 2.10 of Evolution in the text of the email. I believe that this is simply because the content of the email was overlooked when 2.10 was released. This may mean that there are other problems with the content of that email message. I have pasted the text of the email below."

"The Evolution Team is proud to welcome you to Evolution, a complete system
for managing your communications and personal information.

the message should be changed to a general one, not refering to a version number or the latest features, and then be translated.
listing the latest changes does not make sense - a new user is not interested in the latest changes, but the application in its current state. and an old user who has upgraded will not see this message at all because it is only for new users.

after the message has been generalized, a call to gnome-18n@ would be good (see bug 206066 for required Makefile/configure.in changes for translators).

It's a generic Welcome message nowadays.
