Re: [Evolution] Restored html-emails formatting

["theapplepie differentmail com" <theapplepie differentmail com>]

Hi Milan

Thanks for the quick and clarifying answer!

Mmh, it is a pity the WebKit editor does not keep both versions. 

This means I probably have to run the command you mentioned every time
I want to use a sent html-email as template for the new email. I
usually only write plain text emails but several times a week I write a
html email. I normally "edit as a new email" a sent html email with
background and font formatting but this only works well with the html
mode on. 
If I "Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->[x] Format messages"
before doing that then the threading of the "old" email is kept and the
new one is grouped with the "template" although there are not related
which in this case is not helpful.

For my situation the best would be to have a toggle button for "prompt-
on-composer-mode-switch" beside the "Cancel the current mail operation"
in the main tool bar. But maybe it would only me using it ;-).

Cheers

Dan

        Hi,
it's intentional. The difference is that the previous versions used
GtkHTML editor, while there's used WebKit editor now. The later doesn't
keep both versions, hence the question about losing formatting. You can
re-enable the question by running this command:

   $ gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail prompt-on-composer-mode-
switch true

It doesn't have a corresponding checkbox in the Preferences.

Alternatively, use Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->[x] Format
messages in HTML, before editing the message and uncheck it again
afterwards (too much work, from my point of view).

With respect of the "Edit as new", I do not know how exactly you use
that, but using reply keeps threading intact, which is good for
history, which some people care of. You can choose a reply style in the
Composer Preferences. Again, I do not know your workflow, thus just
mentioning.
        Bye,
        Milan
