Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-12-03 21:03:34 UTC 
When Evo is called with a mailto: URI with a body part, the given body string is
the entire Message, using the Preformat paragraph style.

RFC2368 particularly claims that "The user can edit the message". To support the
user in this, we should:

* add a newline to teh given body string
* make the following paragraph use the Normal paragraph style

Whether we should use Preformat or Normal for the given body string would be
another topic. There are actual usecases for both of them. Using Preformat for
the body string is fine -- but the next paragraph needs to be Normal.

See bug #323142 for a related issue.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-12-05 15:05:40 UTC 
confirming.
Comment 3 Jani Uusitalo 2008-09-29 15:24:23 UTC 
It seems to me this has been fixed. I'm using http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html for testing, and in Evolution 2.22.3.1 I can edit the body of new messages opened via the mailto: links as much as I want. (In case it matters, I'm browsing the page with Epiphany.)
Comment 4 André Klapper 2012-08-09 16:28:05 UTC 
Closing as FIXED as per last comment.
