[18:34] <macvr> hi all... anyone here using the evolution mail client?
[18:35] <smerp> macvr: Yes
[18:35] <macvr> smerp: how does the new mail notification display? 
[18:36] <smerp> macvr: Well, I get a translucent window from notify-osd in the upper right, and the Indicator Applet lights up (if you're using it)
[18:37] <macvr> smerp: i meant text> does the mail subject show in bold ? or is only the X new mail in bold?
[18:38] <smerp> Mine just comes up with "1 New Message"
[18:38] <smerp> or "4 new messages"... subjects don't seem to pop up at all
[18:39] <macvr> smerp: thats not very useful is it!
[18:39] <smerp> macvr: no, I don't suppose it is ... not sure who should fix it, though
[18:39] <smerp> I suppose the notify-osd support is plugged in somehow
[18:40] <smerp> I wouldn't mind it working like the Gmail Notifier on my Mac -- a notification for each new unread message with a Subject, author, and snippet of the body.
[18:40] <macvr> smerp: the changes have to be done in notify-osd to allow multi-line bold display... thanx for the reply
[18:40] <smerp> macvr: ah, I see
[18:40] <smerp> ok, np
[18:40] <SiDi> smerp: honnestly, depends on the amount of mails / day :) i'd be crazy if it displayed each mail
[18:41] <smerp> SiDi: hah, true
[18:41] <macvr> SiDi: there should be a cut off limit
[18:41] <SiDi> i dont think there should be notifications at all actually :)
[18:42] <macvr> SiDi: check out the thunderbird addon. it displays the subject , sender .
[18:42] <SiDi> now that we have a sexy notification server, the best we can do is avoid to waste it and use the as sexy indicator applet for the role of messages
[18:42] <smerp> http://teddziuba.com/2009/04/disable-the-annoying-thing-in.html <- :D
[18:42] <macvr> SiDi: i dont want to check the mails everytime it arrives ! but just check when i recieve important mails
[18:42] <smerp> SiDi: oh, agreed
[18:43] <smerp> indicator-applet is much better for this
[18:46] <SiDi> yeh, i think the default pidgin behaviour is too aggressive :/
[18:46]  * macvr thinks ideally a setup where the notification displays only for the contacts i have marked as important or for folders marked important would be nice 
[18:46] <SiDi> looks like MSN's damn "Foo logged in, and i tell you with a notification even if you didnt talk to him for 2 years"
[18:46] <SiDi> the problem is being able to setup important contacts
[18:47] <smerp> SiDi: not only that, but the patches for libindicate for pidgin indicate for "user logged in", which shouldn't trigger the indicator-applet, IMHO
[18:47] <macvr> but folders should be easy
[18:49] <macvr> SiDi: how about ignore lists?
[19:02] <macvr> smerp: cant the notifications in evolution be switched off? thunderbird has a display notification option... any equivalent in evolution?
[19:09] <smerp> macvr: perhaps -- somewhere buried in the prefs
[19:09]  * smerp likes them just fine, so I leave them on
[19:09] <smerp> unlike ted, who wants to be left the hell alone, evidently
[19:11] <macvr> ^haha! whats his prob though
[19:40] <smerp> macvr: ted dzuiba is always cranky :D
[19:40] <smerp> but fun to read, if you like that sort of snark
[19:42] <macvr> smerp: http://teddziuba.com/2009/04/my-triumphant-return-to-el-reg.html < yup... kinda looks cranky :P
