Re: [Evolution] Is the composer's Save / Save As feature useful?

[Holger Goetz <holgerg hgsys de>]

Hi Matthew,

in the case of building sort of "knowledge base" where email contents
need to go in as possible source of wisdom, it makes sense to save the
body of a mail in a non-evolution/non-mail format. It can be processed
more easily. 
I must say that saving together with the mail headers would be even more
useful in cases - but that wasn't the question you've been asking ;-)

Best,
Holger
