Re: [Evolution] One last suggestion on including the / in filenames

[Tony L <someone sonic net>]

I have to say I agree. I'm a part time Mac user as well and that is a very
smart way to do things. With the MacToolbox it parses everything for you and
already does the ':' to '-' or ';' for you. In this case you have to do it
yourself. I don't see how this has passed you by... Am I missing something
more complicated here?
I also agree that there are better and more important things to do in
Evolution such as the shell.

Thanks,
Tony

I stood there attention to the west.
Her eyes were green.
The sky was blue
She turned to me
She says "I can't see?"
I says "See what?"
"I can't see the sun" she says.
So I turned to the left,
And took one step to the south.
Now that's something I'll regret.
