Add option to attach multiple messages as separate files
- Evolution 3.50.3
- Debian testing
A use case I would like to have:
- Select multiple messages
- Forward as attached EML files
- A new message with individual EML files attached
Alternative:
- Select multiple messages
- Save as multiple EML files
- I attach the EML files myself in a new message
The backstory is that I would like to save multiple messages as EML files to be able to forward them to another person who uses Gmail or Outlook.
Workaround if one uses the Gmail web app:
- In Evolution, copy the messages from any account to a Gmail folder
- Open the Gmail web app
- Find the messages and select them all
- Forward them in a new message
- The messages will be attached as EML files in a new message.
Shortcoming with saving multiple messages as a single MBOX file:
- It becomes impossible to pick individual messages afterwards
- MBOX is Unix-specific, neither Outlook nor Gmail can easily read it
MBOX is most useful for backing up / archiving multiple messages or a whole mailbox as a single file.
