Re: [Evolution] Re: [Evolution-hackers] Scripting in evolution

Well, several reasons. The main one is to be able to add features that
Evolution does not have.

Some of the features:
1. Better filters
2. Auto respond
3. Intelligent signatures
4. Spam removal using spam assassin or similar program and
   virus scan of incoming mails
5. Better calling of external programs for doing tasks
...

Also, I would like to have a text based Evolution mailbox compatible
client, so I can ssh to machine and check mail. If there would be
scripting support in Evolution, I could write a text client that would
communicate through hooks in the running Evolution.
