Re: [Evolution] open mail spool files in Evolution?

Reply doesn't load the rfc822 message into the composer...

the composer is not able to handle all possible MIME structures, that's
why I said it was impossible.

for example, there is no way to represent the following in the composer:

multipart/mixed
  message/rfc822
    multipart/mixed
      text/plain
      image/gif
  text/plain
  multipart/alternative
    text/plain
    text/html
  image/jpeg


simply because the composer cannot create such structures...

if I misunderstood and he just wanted the rfc822 message to be replied
to, then yea - it could work.
