[Evolution] Some issues with evolution

[Tony Mobily <merc mobily com>]

Hello,

first of all,  thank you so much for creating the best email program I
have ever seen. Evolution really *is* fantastic, and I think you did an
incredibly good job. (I am using Evolution 1.4).
Evolution is now my email program (I finally migrated from Eudora!), and
I am happy with it. However, I do have some questions that I haven't been able
to answer after a fair bit of working with it. Here they are, in order
of importance:

* "new mail" and "reply" windows. At the moment, when they come out they
are quite small. To write my email comfortably, I have to "resize" them.
> From then on, Evolution "remembers" it, but every time I start it I have
to do it... is there a way of configuring evolution so that the size of
such windows is bigger?

* I *need* to purge the attachments from my email. It's OK (and handy) for me to
keep my attachments in my outgoing mail, but as far as incoming mail is
concerned, it would be *madness*. I receive about 10Mb of attachment per
day, as I work as an editor. I also like to back-up my home directory
onto a CD. Keeping all the attachment in the mail's bodies would be
crazy. I would be happy with a function to "purge" the attachments out.
Is there such a think in evolution? Does anyone know of a script that
does it?  

* When I compose a new message, is there a shortcut that takes me to the
address book without having to clic with the mouse? (I really don't like
using the mouse in such a situation...)

* "paste" doesn't work in the subject field. I believe this is a bug! If
you copy some text in the clipboard, then go to evolution in the
"subject" field, and press CTRL-V, the text will go in the BODY of the
email! The problem is not there when you press CTRL+INS (weird!).

* When "shift" is pressed, Enter doesn't work.
OK, this is a bit of a silly one... if I press Enter while the shift key
is pressed, Enter simply doesn't do anything. This is not true for other
text editors... is there any way to prevent that?

* When I send my email, the message is "formatted" so that it's not more
than 80 colums. I assue that Evolution does it so that it the message
adheres with standards. But... is there a way to prevent this from
happening? 

Thank you so much!

Bye,

Merc.
