Re: Evolution discussion

[Karl Gutenberg <GlueSoft gmx de>]

Weluva,

let me applaud for the design. I wonder what the state of discussion may be 
regarding a mail backend. What amount of job would it have to do? Provide 
unified access to any kind of account, may it be mbox, IMAP or POP3?

And what is the plan regarding scripting engines? I have always been bothered 
with quoting flaws like these........

>> long line
>rest
>>next line..........

Will i get events to plugin to fix the input before it comes into the widget 
for a reply, or an event to plugin to to so some fixup before sending?

Yours, Karl
