GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 513779
Select reply style per mail account
Last modified: 2015-09-24 13:42:04 UTC
Today you can set in preferences if you want regular quoted replies or Outlook style replies (and more). I think very many people are forced to used the Outlook reply because if you are in a discussion with a number of people, you really need to use the same style as they do. When it's not work-related mails I want to use regular quoted replies instead. Today this is very cumbersome, I have to change the preferences for every time I need a different reply style. A quick and quite good solution to this would be to add a key-mapping to use an alternate reply method. Optimally you could choose a primary and a secondary reply style in preferences. Ctrl-r would be the primary and ctrl-someotherkey would be the secondary. Other information:
Valid enhancement IMO. We can have it the same way as Forward styles.
Bumping version to a stable release.
As written on http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.3/mail-composer-reply.html : The default settings for replying and forwarding can be changed under Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ Composer Preferences ▸ General ▸ Replies and Forwards ▸ Reply style.
André: Yes, but this request was for a setting per mail account. In my case I have one work account where I need to use Outlook-replies but for my private account I want regular quoted reply.
I made this happen. The option can be found in account properties in the Defaults tab, just below the CC and BCC fields. Created commit_55996c2 in eds master (3.19.1+) [1] Created commit f782e57 in evo master (3.19.1+) [1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=55996c2
