[evolution-patches] Proposed UI change: mailer component: ellipsis characters for various menu items (#323951)

[David Malcolm <dmalcolm redhat com>]

(trying to get some UI fixes in before the deadline here)

>From the GNOME HIG:
"Command items are menu items that initiate a command or perform an action, such
as Save, Print or Quit. They may act on the currently active document in a
document based application, or on the application itself." ... "Label the menu
item with a trailing ellipsis ("...") only if the command requires further input
from the user before it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that
only present a confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or that do not require
further input (such as Properties, Preferences or About)." (see
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-design.html#menu-grouping 


Based on the above, I think the following items in the mailer should have
trailing ellipsis characters:
Message ->
	Compose New Message
	Post New Message to Folder
	Reply
	Post a Reply
	Reply to Sender
	Reply to List
	Forward
	Redirect
	Move to Folder
	Copy to Folder

Attached is a patch that adds the ellipsis characters to these menu items.
OK to commit? (with a ChangeLog entry)

Dave
