[Evolution] A couple of show stoppers...

[dwight net-kitchen com (Dwight D. McKay)]

Thank you evolution developers! Evolution will surely be my mail agent of 
choice fairly soon now, save for a couple of show stopper problems for me (I 
list my system details at the end of the message):

1/ Printing. Printing just flat out dies and kills off the "inbox" component.

2/ Saving a copy of sent mail. Maybe I just can't figure this one out, but 
other then "CC"ing myself, how can I get evolution to keep a copy of any mail 
I send? I'm looking for functionality like the mh, "Fcc:" header line.

3/ Starting a composition window from an external program with an external 
file as the initial message text and headers. One thing I do is send "form 
letters" from time to time, usually due to security issues and I need to 
include the output of a program that grabs email addresses from whois, log 
file samples, boilerplate text, etc. Right now I run a shell script that drops 
all the pieces into a file and then fires up mh, like so: comp -file 
/tmp/form.12345 -editor gedit. That makes the task quick and easy.

How can I do that with Evolution?

It's getting closer... Back to the ugly but functional exmh for now...

My test system is: RedHat Linux 6.2 with all current patches, Helix GNOME 
current as of today, Evolution 0.8 obtained and installed via helix-update 
this morning.
