Re: [Evolution] newbe quesiton

Found what I was doing wrong. I have now been able to create my shortcuts to for MailNext
and MailPrevious.
One thing I don't understand is why the menu section of the evolution-mail-message.xml
file has entries under the submenu "Actions" for "GoTo", but they do not show on the
actual "Actions" menu. I finally tried changing the name of the menu and it started
showing up. So, somebody hard-coded a "dont display the GoTo menu" somewhere. Not a good
programming practice.
I also added (or tried to add) the icons to the "Toolbar". What I found was that the click
on spots are available, but they don't have any picture/icon on the spot. I can sellect
and click on them, but you can't see them. Is this also hardcoded? Any way to get around it?

About original second question. When I am viewing an email in a seperate window, I would
like to modify the actions when I put it in the trash. I want to leave the window open and
go to the next message. Is this controlled somehow by a configuration file that I can change?
