Description cynthia.gu 2003-08-12 08:23:39 UTC 
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Start evolution mailer and compose a new mail.
2) Open a nautilus window, browse to a folder containing, say jpeg image
files.
3) Select an image file, and choose Edit -> Copy.
4) Go to the new mail message window, click on the body of the message
and choose 'Edit' -> 'Paste'

Actual Results:


Expected Results:
The image file should be 'attached' to the mail message. 

How often does this happen? 
always

Additional Information:
Comment 1 André Klapper 2005-02-12 12:12:55 UTC 
"edit | paste" refers to the *text* of the email *body* and NOT to the 
attachment pane.
so still not working in evolution-2.1.4.0.200502040900-0.snap.ximian.
10.1 - a bounties issue perhaps.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-09-28 13:19:15 UTC 
only the local file location is inserted as text, but not the image itself.

workaround: use drag and drop from nautilus to the evo composer.
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 01:04:05 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 4 Nick Jenkins 2009-12-03 05:17:33 UTC 
See also bug 551464, which may potentially be a dupe of this or this a dupe of that, or they may just be similar (I don't know enough about the relationship between GtkHtml & Evolution's mail composer to be able to say).
Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2009-12-03 05:56:23 UTC 
I agree.  Closing this one as a dupe since your bug has more discussion.
