GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 255032
Be able to write a note on a mail
Last modified: 2015-09-21 14:19:49 UTC
This is an ENHANCEMENT request. I'd like to add a note to an email message so that I can come back to it and then finish a task, etc. As an option, I'd like to be able to reply/forward the message and have my notes added to the email incase I need to give the task to someone else. This is slightly different that just replying because that might happen much later than when I add the note. Also different than just a flag etc. There is a similar request for KMail, see: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31650 Thanks!
could be a duplicate of bug 219047, not sure though...
I looked at bug 219047, but that seems to be a different request. This (could) be simple, just some notes about an email. But then, also to have them easily appendable to the email if you replied, or forwarded it. Do you need more of a description to know what I envision? Thanks!
in order to destroy the UI component (as discussed with jpr and dobey), changing component to mailer.

Created attachment 311631 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; This adds the Add note.../Edit note.../Delete note menu options and the functionality. The notes are stored within the message as a message, thus can be read by any clients. The storing is not destructive (thus there's also the "Delete note" function). Similar to drafts, saving the note means deleting the original message and adding a new to the folder, while the outer part of the message is still the same as before. There is a "memos" icon used for messages with notes in the message list, the same as filters to filter for messages with/without notes. The flag which is used for filters is sometimes present only after the message is viewed in the preview - it's because the flag setting depends on the account type it is stored; I tested with IMAP, EWS and local storage which all seem fine. The note itself can be a simple text, and HTML formatted text, and even inline images (in the HTML format) and attachments are permitted.
Created attachment 311632 [details] [review] eds patch for evolution-data-server; Fine-tuning on the eds side, to make things easier for others.
Created attachment 311633 [details] [review] ews patch for evolution-ews; Similar fine-tuning as in eds/imapx.
