Oh! Forgot the 4th gotcha I ran into. All my calendar entries are now showing up in their GMT/UCT time, not local time. :-P They were correct before the upgrade. Mike On Mon, 2010-07-26 at 09:48 -0400, Michael H. Warfield wrote:
Hey all! I recently upgraded my system from Fedora 12 to Fedora 13 and have been having some problems with Evolution since. This would have been an upgrade to Evolution from 2.28.3-1.fc12 to 2.30.2-1.fc13. First... What happen to the PGP "Remember password for remainder of session option" when I enter my PGP/GPG password? This is a real pain, since I now have to enter my password each time I send out an E-Mail. I know I can now hear people start to type, but it's a security risk to remember those passwords. Actually it's not. It's a security risk to force someone to enter it each time. The risk of someone attempting to shoulder surf me is orders of magnitude higher that someone having broken into my system and how can steal that password out of memory and yet who can not obtain it through easier means, such as keyboard sniffing. I sign everything as a matter of personal policy (and we can leave that philosophical debate to another time) and this exposes my password to keyboard sniffing and shoulder surfing each time I send a message. That increases the security risk. Next... Evolution has gotten really flakey wrt selecting my proper account for reply and including a cc to myself. Now it's been real flakey about including my cc to self for quite a few revision (probably going back several Fedora clicks to maybe F9 or earlier). Even though each and every one of my dozen or so accounts has "Always carbon copy (cc) to" selected and the proper E-Mail address entered into the field, lots of times it had no cc when I do a reply or reply-all. For a while, I was thinking it was failing to behave properly whenever there was a "Reply-to:" header in the message but this version has gotten much worse about this problem and lots of times (but not always) it will fail to add the proper cc even though there's no Reply-to header. It is always consistent for any given message. Reply to one that works, and every reply will work. Reply to one that fails, and it always fails. So it seems to be something about the message being replied to that triggers this bug. Finally, and this did just show up with this upgrade, it's often picking the wrong account when I create a new message or reply to an old message. As often as not, it's picking one of my "inactive" accounts I have just as a mailbox placeholder. It's not picking the account for I currently have a mailbox open (the old behavior) and it's not picking my active default account or even an active account at all. Now, this one is NOT consistent. It may fail once on a given message and then I go examine an other mailbox and come back to that message and then it will work properly. Weird. Generally, when it grabs the wrong mailbox, it also does not fill in the Cc field with anything either. When it's wrong, it's also grabbing this one particular (inactive) account, as if it was set as the default. I haven't seen it switch to another (active) account by mistake. I can even be IN my default account and have it guess wrong and grab this other one. I can manually select the proper account and the cc (and my signature) are filled in correctly. So, it seems to be just guessing wrong on grabbing the proper account. Anyone have any thoughts on this before I file a bugzilla report on them? Regards, Mike
