GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309019
Saving mail menu in mail composer
Last modified: 2008-04-06 16:29:00 UTC
I tried to same a mail. I clicked on Save instead of Save as a Draft, and it EXPORTs my mail as an HTML file instead of keeping it intact. I think those Save (as) menu entry should disapear or be renamed as Export in HTML. In fact even the HTML Export is not exporting the full mail but only the mail's body text. Other information: thanks to guenther and kjetilho
it's a DRAFT! we save it in html to preserve formatting. this is not a bug, and it is NOT an EXPORT. A draft, is, by definition, NOT the mail we send.
Confirming this bug. Shifting Product to GtkHTML. A "Save" and "Save as" option is valid for a general purpose HTML Editor, but it is almost superfluous while using GtkHTML as a Mail Composer. Not yet finished mails are stored as Draft, rather than a file. If the "Save" option should stay nonetheless, we need to re-phrase it to clearly state what it does.
Reopening. There is no easy way to continue with that saved file.
so according to comment#2 it's also a string issue, adding keyword
so, comments, proposals?
very unimportant stuff, as fejj noted. sorry.
Bumping version to a stable release.
So should we just remove the Save / Save As... actions?
Closing this as a dupe of bug #526402, where I've proposed dropping the "Save" and "Save As" actions in the new composer. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 526402 ***
