[Evolution-hackers] Re: Regarding the global send options UI

[Anna M Dirks <anna ximian com>]

Hi Chenthill,

Thanks for sending mail about this! It is great to see the Bangalore 
team becoming more and more integrated into the Evolution development 
community!

To understand where to put these options, we need to understand how 
they are used. Right now, I really don't have a very good understanding 
of what these options include, and when they might be needed. Could you 
try to write down some scenarios in which these options might be used? 
If you aren't sure, try contacting JPR and Christine McLellan. Do you 
know Christine, btw?

Another good thing for you to do would be to send out some screenshots 
so that we can see what sort of information is included with hese 
options.

Thanks!

cheers,
Anna
