Description Dave Malcolm 2005-12-13 06:30:42 UTC 
I think the various menu items supplied by the mailing list actions plugin need
some improvements:
(i) they could all potentially be regarded as command items that require further
input, and hence require trailing ellipsis characters (see
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-design.html )
(ii) menu items should have header capitalization (see
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/design-text-labels.html#layout-capitalization
)

This is with evolution 2.5.2

Comment 3 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-01-14 01:08:51 UTC 
I don't think they do...

Anyway, ListPost definitely does not (just like New Messages, this is not a dialog). Oh, and the ListOwner ellipsis is broken in attachment 55930 [details] [review]. ;)
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2006-06-29 22:23:30 UTC 
How about just fixing the capitalization then?
