Re: Perl Interpreter in Evolution?

Launching a perl process that does alot of searching and evaluating for every message that comes in could get expensive. It should be possible to embed a perl interpreter into the code. You could enter an expression into a field, like the scheme expression in 1.08 that I've seen, that is to be evaluated for every message that comes in. The expression is evaluated into an 'anonymous subroutine' (perlism) that is executed on every message. An internal perl function could be provided that would 'get' the message text, or the headers, or whatever is available in the Evolution internals. A startup file in the evolution directory could load any Perl libs (such as Mail::Audit and Spam Assassin) that might be desired for processing incoming messages.

Resending messages from folders that are not the 'Sent' Folder

Hi, I have a virtualfolder that represents all messages to/from an indiviual. When I click on 'Edit as New' in the File Menu I get a '... only resend messages in Sent Folder'. What are the reasons for this restriction? _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - evolution-hackers@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
