GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 223417
mailing list manager
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:32:25 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.
(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.)
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!
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? :-)
setting to NEEDINFO until someone reopens.
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.
...at least setting version number. :-)
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.
