Nope, just straight 1.4.4 via Red Carpet on Mandrake 9.1. I'm on the road t=
his week and won't be able to file a bug, but I'll do it when I get home.

appointments show up as all day (not 0200-0200) in the calendar. It's
only the alarm that bumps them up 2 hours. Since that's exactly the
offset from GMT, I'm guessing it is a TZ issue as well, but one that
only affects the alarm component and then only for the all-day events.

Are you using Connector? Exchange represents all-day events in a
slightly broken way which we have to translate to/from, so maybe we're
not doing it correctly for alarms...

I think this would be a great feature to add, if possible. Perhaps a
way to mark a folder as an archive folder so that the mail inside would
be stored in a compressed format that would be readable (granted slow)
by evolution.
I typically break my inbox and sent folders up in 6 month intervals for
historical purposes. I do find myself searching them about once a month
on average. As it stands, I've got about 650MB of email in my
~/evolution/local directory. Having the option to compress the stuff I
don't use very often but would like to keep handy would be nice.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if this is a bug or a feature... I'm running Evo 1.4.4
and Connector 1.4.4....
Whenever I receive a meeting request, it seems that if I view the
request, it automatically adds itself to my calendar.. Even though I
have yet to accept/decline it...
It does show me in an unknown state in the calendar entry, but... Why
is it adding to my calendar automatically?
Also.. on a related note.... Is there a known crash bug when viewing
calendar requests? If I click on a calendar request, view it,
accept/decline or simply not respond, and then click on another email,
Evo crashes.. This is pretty much reproducible on demand..
Thanks all!

I have also experienced a crashing problem when trying to delete a
meeting cancellation (of all things). Because Evo does not (appear to)
automatically remove an Exchange meeting request/update/cancellation
after responding to it, I find myself having to clean them out of my
inbox regularly.

Sounds like a good idea for a wishlist bug. I took a quick look and
couldn't find any such existing wishlist bug.

There is actually a feature request about this already. I don't recall
the bug # off the top of my head tho, but I do remember it being
discussed.

As always Guenther, fantastic reply!
I do believe that there is a subtle logic bug here -- it has lead to me
sending at least of few long lines ;-)
Format appears to be defined on a line by line basis. The most
desirable behavior is for when a line has been deleted (backspace) of
all characters, that the format automatically become "Normal".
Wat do u think evo-devel? Guenther (I appreciate your opinion)?

How can I force automatic line wrapping for replies? How can I change
the automatic line width?
In the Composer, there is a dropdown menu right above the text pane for
the paragraph style -- likely showing 'Normal' or 'Preformat'.
'Normal' breaks at 72 chars, whereas 'Preformat' wont break your lines
unless you manually insert a linebreak.
Composing new mails defaults to 'Normal' to ensure your text will be
readable in 80 chars even when being quoted (multiple times). Replying
defaults to 'Preformat' for the quoted text (to prevent ugly
"Kammquoting" [1]) and 'Normal' for your text. Just hit enter and you
magically get a new paragraph with 'Normal' style.
You can change this own your own decision, mainly to insert long lines
without wrapping.
AFAIK there is no way to change the line width for being quoting save as
mentioned above -- this is common practice.

Oh, yeah. Never really noticed this. As a workaround: Additional
"Backspace, Enter" does the trick and is fast to type.

Yes, this may be a slight logic issue -- at least it is annoying
behavior. Feel free to file it in bugzilla.
IMHO there are far more urgent bugs in gtkhtml, like: Switching
signatures eats a newline. Signatures and quotes do not need to be spell
checked. Decreasing quoting-level of a quoted empty line is difficult
[1]. The height of of the To and Cc fields makes text dance...
