RE: [Evolution] [Feature Request] tnef integration

["Ferry Huberts" <ferry Hupie com>]

ok guys,
I read all the comments and I still think that it's a good idea.
If only for the fact the you don't have to harrass the sender when his mail
settings are not 'correct', automatic conversion would work wonders for
usability and interoperability (and migration!)

whether a filter, plugin, or something entirely internal to evolution is
used is not really important, that should be an implementation detail :-)
