[NTLUG:Discuss] Evolution 2.0.2 Email Questions

[Fred Hensley]

Bryan,

I am in utter disbelief sitting here reading your latest vindictive tirade.

You're a brilliant guy whose experience many of us have come to respect and
appreciate.  I will never carry so much as a thimbleful of your knowledge,
and cannot believe you would be so insecure as to viciously attack when not
even provoked.  

Please re-read Ralph's posting below as it is, and nothing else.  I know him
well enough personally to see precisely where he is coming from, and it is
not anywhere near the depth of persecution you perceive.  He is genuinely
suggesting Kipton bring his request to the Evolution team.

Throttle-down man, throttle down...

-Fred-

Nice to see Mr. Green take full advantage of an opportunity.
But this just matches his unprofessional personality in other regards.

I don't deny I can be unprofessional too.
But the difference between people like him and I include:

1) I wait until others post their agendas first
- at least I'm reactive (even if the poorest of kinds)

2) I don't use opportunities to push my agendas,
especially not against specific members,
trying to regularly involve the list, etc...

And most importantly:  
3) I don't lie and when I make a mistake, I check my facts and admit I'm
wrong
(at least by the 2nd question of my statements)

 I don't deny I can be a jerk in e-mail, but I'm a honest jerk.
That's the difference between someone with integrity and someone with
two-faced agendas.
Don't forget to differentiate between the two, especially when it becomes a
"he said" v. "he said" issue.
You might not like the one jerk,
but if he admits his faults and is only guilty of reacting poorly at times,
remember that context when it is appropriate.

I'll take the honest jerk ovee the two-faced smiler anyday.
Although I'm clearly biased on that.  :->

Howdy,
  You can do all that with one rule.  In the If section for you white
list rule, just put all 300 users.  If you don't want to edit the rule
to add 300 users, you can take a shortcut.  Add 3 or 4 users and save
the rule.  Now, exit Evolution.  Go to the .evolution/mail directory and
copy the filters.xml file to a backup file(in case you make a boo boo)
Now, edit the file and look for you user names.  You will want to
duplicate that section for every user on your white list.  As an
example, I'll show you a similar section from my filters.
      <title>user kill list</title>
      <partset>
        <part name="sender">
          <value name="sender-type" type="option" value="contains"/>
          <value name="sender" type="string">
            <string>b.j.smith at ieee.org</string>
          </value>
        </part>
      </partset>

  Save the file, restart evolution and see if the rule now looks like
what you want.  I am not saying there is no easier way to set up you
whitelist.  This is the way I know how to do it and it should work.

 You are right that there does not seem to be an option to just allow
anyone in your address book.  I think that would be a silly option to
have, but obviously you see more value in it than I do.  You could
suggest it to the Evolution team.
Good luck,
Ralph
