Need to be able to edit appointment reminders

Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: 1.2.2-5 Synopsis: Need to be able to edit appointment reminders Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Calendar Description: Description of Problem: Currently there is no way to edit a reminder once it has been created. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a new appointment and go to the Reminder tab. 2. Add a new reminder of any type. 3. Click on the reminder; double click; hit the "Edit" button. Uh, wait - forget that last one. There is no "Edit" button. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: A new window with fields displaying the values of the reminder pops up, allowing modification of said fields. Fields include: type (Display Message/Play Sound/Run Program), time, time increment, before/after, start/end, and the fields contained for each type in the Options sub dialog How often does this happen? every time. Additional Information: It would be nice if the option to e-mail a reminder was built in as one of the types; the Options sub dialog would just include the standard "Alarm Repeat" that's built into the other three types, and would include a single field to input various e-mail addresses. The mail itself would include the appointment summary and location in the subject field, with Date & Time and any notes in the body. Or should this be a separate bug report? Probably, huh... :) thx anthony Unknown reporter: anthony@anim.dreamworks.com, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
This would be nice. I was about to say "just remove the reminder and set a new one", which is what I've done for years--but if you've set anything under "Options", it's probably not reasonable to expect the user to remove and reset everything including Options. This is still an issue in Evolution 1.5.7
If this has been re-targetted for after the 2.0 release, I sugest the broken Edit button widget be completely removed from the current reminder pop-up.
