Doh -- just started hacking xml files to accomplish this -- as I
suddenly had to realize, there is no such thing as 'File / Send later'
in Evo 1.2.4.

If you would have asked for an action already in the menu -- then yes.

FWIW: Maybe in your 1.0.8 version, but not in current versions.

Isn't that what offline mode is for?

In Evo 1.2.x use menu 'File / Work Offline' or just use the little icon
on the very bottom, left in the Evo window. When working offline, mails
are automatically spooled in Outbox until you get online again.

Yep. No question though...

I assume, you do think this is a missing feature? AFAIK you are not
alone and it is likely already filed in bugzilla. Although I don't
expect it to be targeted before 1.4 is out.


You can always use the default way: Mark the text you want to be copied
and click the middle mouse button in an editor -- pasted.

What holds you off from updating? ;-)
