Description:
Please describe your feature request:

Why the heck has "forward as..." been removed from the "message" menu?
Now, I have either use one forward style all the time (by default
attachment) or go through gconf-editor. There even isn't any preferences
item to set the preferred forward style.

Please bring back the menu as it was prior to 2.4. 

Thanks,

Johannes

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

The Forward As submenu will be back in Evo 2.6. Unfortunately it can not be applied to 2.4 due to string changes (read: missing translations). Fixed in CVS.

You are not right about no way to change this, though. ;)  The Preferences do have a setting to set your preferred forward style. Although, granted, settings this on a case by case basis is tedious. That's why I got it back in. :)

  Edit / Preferences / Composer Preferences / General / Forward Style


If you don't mind missing translations you can get this menu back now -- at least, if you are root on your machine. See the patch in bug 321640 or the relavant thread on the mailing list, especially this post:
