Re: [Evolution] Feature suggestion : "save all to disk"

[Harry Lu <harry lu sun com>]

Yes, I wish I can help to implement this feature for evolution. I am 
reading the source code now.
But since I am new to hacking evolution, don't expect this to happen 
soon:( I will need help from other hackers.

BTW,  I also want to implement the "open in external viewers" menu item 
so that we can choose a application to view the attachment. Currently 
the menuitem can only be seen for those attachemts which don't have 
default viewers and is disabled. So it is useless now.

I am using evolution 1.1.2.
