Description Dan Winship 2002-04-14 16:39:43 UTC
we've talked about having evolution explicitly keep track of what
mailing lists you're on, but there doesn't seem to be a bug about it.
Comment 1 Dan Winship 2002-04-14 16:43:53 UTC
(FTR, I filed this because I was going to make bug 223418 depend on it,
but then I realized it's not needed for that. It's still something
that's been talked about though.)
Comment 2 Sean Quinlan 2005-03-02 22:11:25 UTC
If you do add a mailing list manager, it might provide a nice way to
customize composer settings for the lists. I would love to be able to
skip signing any emails to lists (sign/encrypt overides would be great
for contacts to, but I digress), where many recipients have problems
with evolutions attached-sig. Or changing the signature.

Thanks!
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-08-30 15:24:51 UTC
there is a mailing list plugin in evolution 2.2/2.4 which enables you to get
information about the list of the message you're currently viewing; and much more.

can we consider this as being fixed? :-)
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-09-20 17:45:21 UTC
setting to NEEDINFO until someone reopens.
Comment 5 Dan Winship 2005-09-20 18:46:47 UTC
The original idea behind this bug was that evolution would keep (somewhere)
a complete list of all of the mailing lists that you were subscribed to that
it knew about. This might be used for:

  - Creating a central "Manage Mailing Lists" dialog where you could
    unsubscribe from any of them

  - Automatically setting up mailing list mail filters in various ways

  - Automatically filling in Mail-Followup-To or Mail-Reply-To headers
    (or whatever their IETF-standardized equivalents ended up being) when
    sending mail to one of those mailing lists. (AFAIK, Mail-Followup-To
    and Mail-Reply-To were generally decided to have been a bad idea, and
    there has never been any serious momentum behind anything better. I
    could be mistaken though.)

There might have been other things too.

It is entirely possible that this is now WONTFIX.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2005-10-26 23:30:08 UTC
...at least setting version number. :-)
Comment 7 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:32:25 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
