Re: [Evolution] Color emails from people in my contacts

[Fletcher Moore <fletcher superflet ch>]

Well that's ingenious. I must admit I'm a recent Linux convert and am still not fully used to having a system that is essentially wide open like this. Thanks!

Using Evolution 3.30.5. I tried setting up a filter but the options

possible?

At least a workaround via "Pipe to Program" might do the job.

OTOH running something such as e.g.

strings .local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db | grep @

won't do the job.

Oops!

Perhaps something like this already does the job. That the output still

contains some crap shouldn't matter. You could compare the senders

address by a bash/dash script loop with the content of the output such

as

strings $HOME/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db | grep @

and return via "exit" either a "0" for a match or any number != 0 if it doesn't match.
