Description Miles Lane 2001-07-12 21:05:30 UTC 
I'd like two things to be implemented:

1)  If I drag a message to the desktop and create a message 
shortcut, I'd like to be able to click on the shortcut and
have Evolution, if it is already running, load the message into
into a view window.  This could be done, whether or not the 
message was still in any of Evolution's message stores.

2)  If Evolution is not already running, I'd like to have
activating the message shortcut launch Evolution and then
have Evolution open the message in a view window.

Once the message is in the view window, it would be nice
to be able to reply to it or forward it.

Must-have for 1.1!
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2001-11-26 17:03:51 UTC 
Because of the decision to remap 1.1->1.2 and 1.2->1.4, I'm going to be
moving a large number of bugs around in the bugzilla. You can just
search on 'body contains' 'Because of the decision to remap' and mark
all as read. Please direct all questions about this change to
evolution@ximian.com, not the bug.

Moving rescheduled 1.2 bugs to future en masse; sorry if your bug didn't make
the cut.
Comment 6 Gerardo Marin 2002-07-16 18:08:19 UTC 
This report has a 'future' milestone and it's blocking bug 216905 which
has a 1.2 milestone.
I'm removing this dependency.  If you feel appropriate, re-schedule
this bug and re-create dependency.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2005-01-12 17:38:19 UTC 
when i drag and drop a message from evolution to my gnome desktop, it
gets opened by my text editor - so still missing, updating version number.
would be a bounties issue, i guess.
Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:29:29 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 9 Matthew Barnes 2008-11-19 10:39:58 UTC 
Moving this to Mailer.
Comment 10 André Klapper 2012-06-21 09:07:46 UTC 
Same as bug 401668.
