- - - PREAMBLE - - The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, - or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to - assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, - with or without modifying it, either commercially or - noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the - author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not - being considered responsible for modifications made by - others. - - This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that - derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the - same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which - is a copyleft license designed for free software. - - We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals - for free software, because free software needs free documentation: - a free program should come with manuals providing the same - freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited - to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, - regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a - printed book. We recommend this License principally for works - whose purpose is instruction or reference. - - - - APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS - - This License applies to any manual or other work that - contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be - distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document", - below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the - public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". - - A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work - containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied - verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another - language. - - A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter - section of the Document that deals exclusively with the - relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the - Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains - nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. - (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of - mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) - The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with - the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, - philosophical, ethical or political position regarding - them. - - The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections - whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, - in the notice that says that the Document is released under this - License. - - The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that - are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the - notice that says that the Document is released under this - License. - - A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a - machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification - is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed - and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text - editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs - or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that - is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic - translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text - formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format - whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent - modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not - "Transparent" is called "Opaque". - - Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include - plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input - format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and - standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. - Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that - can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML - or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally - available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word - processors for output purposes only. - - The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page - itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, - the material this License requires to appear in the title page. - For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, - "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of - the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the - text. - - - - VERBATIM COPYING - - You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, - either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this - License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this - License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and - that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this - License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or - control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or - distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for - copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you - must also follow the conditions in section 3. - - You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated - above, and you may publicly display copies. - - - - COPYING IN QUANTITY - - If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more - than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, - you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and - legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front - cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must - also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these - copies. The front cover must present the full title with all - words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add - other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes - limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the - Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim - copying in other respects. - - If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to - fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit - reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto - adjacent pages. - - If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document - numbering more than 100, you must either include a - machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or - state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible - computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy - of the Document, free of added material, which the general - network-using public has access to download anonymously at no - charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the - latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you - begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that - this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated - location until at least one year after the last time you - distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or - retailers) of that edition to the public. - - It is requested, but not required, that you contact the - authors of the Document well before redistributing any large - number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an - updated version of the Document. - - - - MODIFICATIONS - - You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the - Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided - that you release the Modified Version under precisely this - License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the - Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the - Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, - you must do these things in the Modified Version: - - - Use in the Title Page - (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the - Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if - there were any, be listed in the History section of the - Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if - the original publisher of that version gives permission. - - - List on the Title Page, - as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for - authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, - together with at least five of the principal authors of the - Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than - five). - - - State on the Title page - the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the - publisher. - - - Preserve all the - copyright notices of the Document. - - - Add an appropriate - copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other - copyright notices. - - - Include, immediately - after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public - permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this - License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. - - - Preserve in that license - notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover - Texts given in the Document's license notice. - - - Include an unaltered - copy of this License. - - - Preserve the section - entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an item stating - at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the - Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no - section entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating - the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given - on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified - Version as stated in the previous sentence. - - - Preserve the network - location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a - Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network - locations given in the Document for previous versions it was - based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You - may omit a network location for a work that was published at - least four years before the Document itself, or if the original - publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. - - - In any section entitled - "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve the section's - title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of - each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications - given therein. - - - Preserve all the - Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and - in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not - considered part of the section titles. - - - Delete any section - entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in - the Modified Version. - - - Do not retitle any - existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with - any Invariant Section. - - - - If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections - or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no - material copied from the Document, you may at your option - designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, - add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified - Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any - other section titles. - - You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it - contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by - various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that - the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative - definition of a standard. - - You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover - Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the - end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one - passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be - added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the - Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, - previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity - you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may - replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous - publisher that added the old one. - - The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by - this License give permission to use their names for publicity for - or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. - - - - COMBINING DOCUMENTS - - You may combine the Document with other documents released - under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for - modified versions, provided that you include in the combination - all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, - unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your - combined work in its license notice. - - The combined work need only contain one copy of this - License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced - with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with - the same name but different contents, make the title of each such - section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the - name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, - or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section - titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of - the combined work. - - In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled - "History" in the various original documents, forming one section - entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled - "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You - must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements." - - - - COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS - - You may make a collection consisting of the Document and - other documents released under this License, and replace the - individual copies of this License in the various documents with a - single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you - follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of - the documents in all other respects. - - You may extract a single document from such a collection, - and distribute it individually under this License, provided you - insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and - follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim - copying of that document. - - - - AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS - - A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other - separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of - a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a - Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation - copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is - called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the - other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on - account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves - derivative works of the Document. - - If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to - these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than - one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts - may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the - aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole - aggregate. - - - - TRANSLATION - - Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may - distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section - 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires - special permission from their copyright holders, but you may - include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition - to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may - include a translation of this License provided that you also - include the original English version of this License. In case of - a disagreement between the translation and the original English - version of this License, the original English version will - prevail. - - - - TERMINATION - - You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the - Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any - other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the - Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights - under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or - rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses - terminated so long as such parties remain in full - compliance. - - - - FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE - - The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised - versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. - Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present - version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or - concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. - - Each version of the License is given a distinguishing - version number. If the Document specifies that a particular - numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to - it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions - either of that specified version or of any later version that has - been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. - If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, - you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the - Free Software Foundation. - - - - How to use this License for your documents - - To use this License in a document you have written, include - a copy of the License in the document and put the following - copyright and license notices just after the title page: - -
- Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. - Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document - under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 - or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; - with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the - Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. - A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU - Free Documentation License". -
- - If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant - Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have - no Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of - "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover - Texts. - - If your document contains nontrivial examples of program - code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your - choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public - License, to permit their use in free software. - - - - diff --git a/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml b/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 365e64b60d..0000000000 --- a/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,432 +0,0 @@ - - - Glossary - - - Attachment - - - Any file sent along with an email.

This -General Public License applies to most of the Free Software -Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to -using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by -the GNU Library General Public License instead.)

Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you -have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for -this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it -if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it -in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. - - - To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid -anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. -These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you -distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. - - - For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether -gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that -you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the -source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their -rights. - - - We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and -(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, -distribute and/or modify the software. - - - Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain -that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free -software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we -want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so -that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original -authors' reputations. - - - Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software -patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free -program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the -program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any -patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. - - - The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. - - - - - - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - - 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains -a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed -under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, -refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" -means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: -that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, -either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another -language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in -the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". - - -Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not -covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of -running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program -is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the -Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). -Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. - - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's -source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you -conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate -copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the -notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; -and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License -along with the Program. - - -You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and -you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. - - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion -of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and -distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 -above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - - - a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - - b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in - whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any - part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third - parties under the terms of this License. - - - c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively - when run, you must cause it, when started running for such - interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an - announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a - notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide - a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under - these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this - License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but - does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on - the Program is not required to print an announcement.) - - -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based -on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. - - -Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or -collective works based on the Program. - - -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program -with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under -the scope of this License. - - - 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, -under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of -Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: - - - a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable - source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections - 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, - - - b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three - years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your - cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete - machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be - distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium - customarily used for software interchange; or, - - - c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer - to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is - allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you - received the program in object code or executable form with such - an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) - - -The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for -making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source -code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any -associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to -control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a -special exception, the source code distributed need not include -anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary -form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the -operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component -itself accompanies the executable. - - -If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering -access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent -access to copy the source code from the same place counts as -distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not -compelled to copy the source along with the object code. - - - 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt -otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is -void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. -However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under -this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such -parties remain in full compliance. - - - 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not -signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or -distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are -prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by -modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the -Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying -the Program or works based on it. - - - 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the -Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the -original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to -these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further -restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. -You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to -this License. - - - 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent -infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), -conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or -otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not -excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot -distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this -License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you -may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent -license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by -all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then -the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to -refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. - - -If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under -any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to -apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other -circumstances. - - -It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the -integrity of the free software distribution system, which is -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot -impose that choice. - - -This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to -be a consequence of the rest of this License. - - - 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in -certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the -original copyright holder who places the Program under this License -may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding -those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among -countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates -the limitation as if written in the body of this License. - - - 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions -of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will -be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to -address new problems or concerns. - - -Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program -specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any -later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions -either of that version or of any later version published by the Free -Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of -this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software -Foundation. - - - 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free -programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author -to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free -Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes -make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals -of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and -of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. - - - -NO WARRANTY - - 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY -FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN -OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES -PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED -OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF -MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS -TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE -PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, -REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - - - 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING -WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR -REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, -INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING -OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED -TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY -YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER -PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE -POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. - - - END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS - - - - How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs - - If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest -possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it -free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. - - - To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest -to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively -convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least -the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. - - - <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> -Copyright (C) < year> <name of author> - - - This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify - it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or - (at your option) any later version. - - - This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, - but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Although the contact - editor will only display one of those at any given - time, Evolution will - remember them all. The arrow buttons next to the - telephone and postal address fields work in the same - way. - - - - - - - The last item in the General tab is the - Categories organization tool. That's - really its own topic; for information on that, read . - - - The Details tab is, fortunately, much more - simple: three sections, all of which are more or less obvious: - the briefcase next to the details about the contact's - professional life; the face next to the details about their - personal life; the globe next to a big blank space you can use - for anything and everything else you'd like to note about them. - If you ever wanted to have that uncanny knack for remembering - obscure details like the date of someone's anniversary (perhaps - your own) this is the answer. - - - - - - - - - - - Organizing your Contact Manager - - Organizing your contact manager is a lot like organizing your - mail. You can have folders and searches the same way you can - with mail, but the contact manager does not allow vFolders. It - does, however, allow each card to fall under several - categories, and allow you to create your own categories. To - learn about categories, read . - - - - - - Groups of contacts - - Evolution offers two ways for you - to organize your cards. The first way is to use folders; - this works the same way that mail folders do. For more - flexibility, you can also mark contacts as members of - different categories. - - - - Grouping with Folders - - The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. - By default, cards start in the - Contacts folder. If you've read then you already know that you - can create a new folder by selecting - - File - New - Folder - - and that you can put new folders anywhere you like. Just - like with mail, cards must be in a card folder, and no card - can be in two places at once. If you want more - flexibility, try . - - - To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the - folder view. Remember that contact cards can only go in - contact folders, just like mail can only go in mail folders, - and calendars in calendar folders. - - - - - Grouping with Categories - - The other way to group cards is to mark them as belonging - to different categories. The difference between folders - and categories is that folders contain cards, but category - membership is a property of each card. That means that you - can mark a card as being in several categories or no - category at all. For example, I put my friend Matthew's - card in the "Business" category, because he works with me, - the "Friends" category, because he's also my friend, and - the "Frequent" category, because I call him all the time - and can never remember his phone number. - - - To mark a card as belonging to a category, click the - Categories button at the lower - right. From the dialog box that appears, you can check as - many or as few categories as you like. - - - Then, you can refer to all the cards in that category by: - Waiting for Evolution to support the - operation. - - - - - - - - - - Sharing your Cards - - If you keep your cards on a network using an LDAP server, you can share access to - them, browse other address books, or maintain a shared set of - contact information for your company or your department. This - is the sort of feature you'll want to use if your company has a - list of vendors and clients that needs constant updating. If - you also share your calendars, people can avoid duplicating - work and keep up to date on developments within their - work-group or across the entire company. - - - - Sharing Address Cards and Calendar Data - - Ray wants to schedule a meeting with Company X, so he - checks the network for the Company X address card so he - knows whom to call there. Since his company also shares - calendars, he then learns that his co-worker Deanna has - already scheduled a meeting with Company X next Thursday. - He can either go to the meeting himself or ask Deanna to - discuss his concerns for him. Either way, he avoids - scheduling an extra meeting with Company X. - - - - Of course, you don't want to share all of your cards— why - overload the network with a list of babysitters, or tell - everyone in the office you're talking to new job prospects? If - you keep cards on your own computer, you can decide which items - you want to make accessible to others. - - - To learn how to add a remote directory to your available - contact folders, see . - Once you have a connection, the network contacts folder or - folders will appear inside the External - Directories folder in the folder bar, and will work - exactly like a local folder of cards, with the following - exceptions: - - - - They are only available when you are connected to the network. If - you use a laptop or have a modem connection, you may wish to copy or cache - the network directory and then synchronize your copy with the networked version - periodically. - - - To prevent excess network traffic, - Evolution will not normally - load the contents of LDAP folders immediately upon - opening. You must click Display - All before LDAP folder cards will be loaded - from the network. You can change this behavior in the - Contact Preferences window. - - - Your ability to view, change, add or delete - contacts depends on the settings of the LDAP server. - For example, you may read all the entries in the public - Netcenter directory (available by default in the - External Directories folder), but - you may not change or delete any of them. - - - - - - - Contact Manager Tools - - The contact manager works with - Evolution mail and the calendar to - help you add new address cards quickly. However, it can also - manage mailing lists. There are more tools planned, and when - they arrive, they will be described in this - section. - - - - Send me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly - - As noted before, when you get information about a person in - the mail or in a calendar entry, you can add it to an address - card. To do so, right click on any email address or email - message, and select Add Address - Card from the menu that appears. Of course, - Evolution also adds cards from a - hand-held device during HotSync operation. For more - information about that, see . - - - - - Managing a Mailing list - - You already know that when you are writing an email, you can - address it to one or more people, and that - Evolution will fill in addresses - from your contact manager's address cards if you let it. In - addition to that, you can send email to everyone in a - particular group if you choose. - - - - You can also use the contact manager to handle lists of - postal addresses to print for labels.

First, it's built to handle very large amounts of - mail without slowing down or crashing. Both the filtering and searching functions - were built for speed and efficiency on gargantuan volumes of - mail. There's also the Evolution - vFolder, an - advanced organizational feature not found in other mail clients. - If you get a lot of mail, or if you keep every message you get - in case you need to refer to it later, you'll find that feature - especially useful. - - - - - Reading, Getting and Sending Mail - - - Reading Mail - - You can start reading email by clicking - Inbox in the shortcut bar. The first - time you use Evolution, it will - start with the Inbox open and show you a - message from Helix Code welcoming you to the application. - - - The Evolution - Inbox, should look like the one in , which has a message from - Helix Code. The message summary appears at the top, in the - message list. The message itself is - displayed below that, in the view pane. - If you find the view pane too small, - you can resize the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click - on the message in the message list to - have it open in a new window. Just like with folders, you can - right-click on messages in the message list and get a menu of - possible actions. - - - - -
- Evolution Mail - - Inbox - - - -
- - - - Most of the mail-related actions you'll want to perform are - listed in the Message menu in the menu - bar. The most frequently used ones, like - Reply and - Forward, also appear as buttons in - the toolbar, and almost all of them are duplicated in the - right-click menu and as keyboard shortcuts, which tend to be - faster once you get the hang of them. You can choose - whichever way you like best; the idea is that the software - should work the way you want, rather than making you work the - way the it does. - - - - Sorting the message list - - One of the ways Evolution lets - you choose the way you work is the way it lets you sort your - message lists. To sort by sender, subject, or date, click - on the bars with those labels at the top of the message - list. If you click twice, you'll sort them in reverse - order. You can also right-click on the message header bars - to get a set of sorting options, and add or remove columns - from the message list. You can find detailed instructions - on how to customize your message display columns in . - - - You can also choose a threaded message view. Select - View - Threaded to turn - the threaded view on or off. If the option selected, - Evolution will group the replies - to a message with the original, so you can follow the thread - of a conversation from one message to the next. - - - - Deleting Mail - - Once you've read your mail, you may want to get rid of - it. To mark a message for deletion, select it in the the - message list by clicking on it once. - Then click on the Delete button in - the tool bar. The message now has a line through it, - because you've marked it for deletion. - - - If you really want to get rid of it, choose - Expunge from the - Folder menu. That will delete it - permanently. If you change your mind and decide you want to - keep it, select Message - Undelete. - - - - - - Checking Mail - - Now that you've had a look around the - Inbox, it's time to check for new mail. - Click Get mail in the toolbar to check - your mail. If it's the first time you've done so, the - mail setup assistant will ask you for - the information it needs to check your mail (see for more information). - - - Then, you need to enter your email - password. Evolution will remember - the password until you quit the application or until you - select Settings - Forget Passwords . - - - Once it's validated the password, - Evolution will check your mail. - New mail will appear in the local Inbox - if you're using a POP account, and in - your IMAP folders if you use IMAP. - - - - Can't Check Mail? - - If you get an error message instead of mail, you probably need - to change your network settings. To learn how to do that, - have a look at , or - ask your system administrator. - - - - - Using Evolution for News - - Newsgroups are so similar to email there's no reason not to - read them side by side. If you want to do that, add a news - source to your configuration (see ). The news server will - appear as a remote server, and will look quite similar to an - IMAP folder. When you click Get Mail, - Evolution will also check for news - messages. - - - - - Attachments and HTML Mail - - If someone sends you an attachment, a - file attached to an email, - Evolution will display the file - at the bottom of the message to which it's attached. Text, - HTML, and most images will be displayed within the message - itself. For other files, - Evolution will provide a link and - icon at the end of the message. Click on that, and - Evolution will ask you where you - want to put the file. Once you've chosen a location and - saved the file, you can open, move, copy, or execute it just - like any other, using Nautilus or - your favorite shell or file manager. - - - As usual, there's a shortcut here: right-click on the link, - and choose an application for the file: you can send an - image straight to the GIMP, or a - spredsheet straight to Gnumeric. - - - - Evolution can also display - HTML-formatted mail, complete with graphics. HTML - formatting will display automatically, although you can - turn it off if you prefer. - - - - - - Writing and Sending Mail - - You can start writing a new email message by selecting - File - New - Mail, or by pressing the - Compose button in the Inbox toolbar. - When you do so, the New Message window - will open, as shown in . - - - -
- New Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - - Enter an address in the To: field, a - subject in the Subject: and a message in - the big empty box at the bottom of the window, and press - Send. That's easy, although it can - get a little more complicated if you want. - - - - Saving Messages for Later - - Evolution will send mail immediately unless you tell it to - do otherwise by selecting - File Send - Later. That will add messages - to the Outbox queue. Then, when you - press Send in another message, or - Get Mail in the main mail window, - all your unsent messages will go out at once. I like to - use "Send Later" because it gives me a chance to change my - mind about a message before it goes out. That way, I don't - send anything I'll regret the next day. - - - To learn more about how you can specify message queue and - filter behavior, see . - - - - You can also choose to save messages as drafts or as text - files. Choose - - File - Save - - or Save As to save your message - as a text file. If you prefer to keep your message in a - folder (the Drafts folder would be the - obvious place), you can select - File Save In - Folder . - - - - Advanced Mail Composition - - You can probably guess the purpose of the buttons labelled - Cut, Copy, - Paste, Undo - and Redo, but there's a bit more to - sending mail that's less obvious. In the next few sections, - you'll see how Evolution handles - additional features, including large recipient lists, - attachments, and forwarding. - - - Attachments - - If you want to attach a file to your email message, you - can drag it from your desktop into the message window, or - click the button in the toolbar with a paper clip on it, - labelled Attach. If you click the - Attach button, - Evolution will open a file - selection dialog box, to ask you which file you want to - send. Select the file and click OK. - - - To hide the display of files you've attached to the - message, select - View Hide - Attachments ; to show them - again, choose Show Attachments. - - - When you send the message, a copy of the attached file - will go with it. Be aware that big attachments can take a - long time to download. - - - - Types of Recipients - - Evolution, like all email - programs (at least, all the ones in current use) - recognizes three types of addressee: primary recipients, - secondary recipients, and hidden ("blind") recipients. - - - The simplest way to direct a message is to put the email - address or addresses in the To: - field, which denotes primary recipients. However, it's - considered bad form to have more than a few email - addresses in this section. If you are sending mail to - more than one or two people, consider the - Cc: field. - - - Hearkening back to the dark ages when people used - typewriters and there were no copy machines, "Cc" stands - for "Carbon Copy." Use it whenever you want to share a - message you've written to someone else. - - Using the Cc: field - - When Susan sends an email to a client, she puts her - co-worker, Tim, in the in the - Cc: field, so that he know - what's going on. The client can see that Tim also - received the message, and knows that he can talk to - Tim about the message as well. - - - - - If you have a large number of recipients, or if you want - to send mail to several people without sharing the - recipient list, you should use - Bcc:. "Bcc" stands for "Blind Carbon - Copy", and means that people you put in the - Bcc: field get the message, but - nobody else sees their email address. They will still see - the list of addresses from the To: - and Cc: fields, though. - - - Using the Bcc: field - - Tim is sending an email announcement to all of his - company's clients, some of whom are in competition - with each other, and all of whom value their - privacy. He needs to use the - Bcc: field here. If he puts - every address from his address book's "Clients" - category into the To: or - Cc: fields, he'll make the - company's entire client list - public. Don't assume it won't happen to you! - - - - - - - Choosing Recipients Quickly - - If you have created address cards in the contact manager, - you can also enter nicknames or other portions of address - data, and Evolution will complete - the address for you. If you enter a name - or nickname that can go with more than one card, Evolution - will open a dialog box to ask you which person you meant. - - - - Alternately, you can click on the - To:, Cc:, or - Bcc: buttons to get a list — - potentially a very long one — of the email addresses - in your contact manager. Select addresses and click on - the arrows to move them into the appropriate address - columns. - - - For more information about using email together with the - contact manager and the calendar, see and . - - - - - - Replying to Messages - - To reply to a message, press the - Reply button while it is selected, - or choose Reply to Sender from - the message's right-click menu. That will open - message composer. The - To: and Subject - fields will already be filled, although you can alter them - if you wish. In addition, the full text of the old message - is inserted into the new message, either in italics (for - HTML display) or with the > character before each line - (in plain text mode), to indicate that it's part of the - previous message. People often intersperse their message - with the quoted material as shown in . - - - -
- Reply Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - - If you're reading a message with several recipients, you may - wish to use Reply to All instead of - Reply. If there are large numbers - of people in the Cc: or - To: fields, this can save substantial - amounts of time. But be careful, and always make sure you - know who is getting a message: one address could be a - mailing list with thousands of subscribers. - - Using the Reply to All feature - - Susan sends an email to a client, and sends copies to - Tim and to an internal company mailing list of - co-workers. If Tim wants to make a comment to all of - them, he uses Reply to All, but - if he just wants to tell Susan that he agrees with her, - he uses Reply. - - - - - - Searching and Replacing with the Composer - - You're probably familiar with search and replace features, - and if you come from a Linux or Unix background, you - probably know what Find Regex - does. If you aren't among the lucky who already know, - here's a quick rundown of an important section of the - Edit menu. - - - - - Find - Enter a word or phrase, and - Evolution will find it - in your message. - - - - - Find Regex - - - Perform a search for a regular - expression, or "regex." - - - - - - Find Again - - Select this item to repeat the last search you performed. - - - - - Replace - - Find a word or phrase, and replace it with - something else. - - - - - - - For all of these items, you have two additional choices. - First, you can choose whether to Search - Backwards, which will perform the search - starting wherever your cursor is, and moving back towards - the beginning of the document (normally, it goes the other - way). Then, you can decide whether to have your search be - Case Sensitive, meaning should it pay - attention to the case of letters when locating a match. - - - - Embellish your email with HTML - - You can't normally set text styles or insert pictures in - emails, which is why you've probably seen people use far - too many exclamation points for emphasis or use emoticons to convey their - feelings. However, most of the newer email programs can - include and display images and text styles as well as - basic alignment and paragraph formatting. They do this - with HTML, just like - web sites do. - - - HTML Mail is not a Default Setting - - Some people do not have HTML-capable mail clients, or - prefer not to receive HTML-enhanced mail because it is - slower to download and display. Some - people refer to HTML mail as "the root of all evil" and - get very angry if you send them HTML mail, which is why - Evolution sends plain text - unless you explicitly ask for HTML. To send HTML mail, - you will need to select - Format - HTML. Alternately, you can set - your default mail format preferences in the mail - configuration dialog. See for more information. - - - - HTML formatting tools are located just above the - composition frame, and in the Insert and - Format menus. Your message text will - appear formatted in the composer window, and the message - will be sent as HTML. - - - The icons in the toolbar are explained in tool-tips, which - appear when you hold your mouse over the buttons. The - buttons fall into four categories: - - - Headers and lists - - - Choose Normal for a default - text style, or Header 1 through - Header 6 for varying sizes of - header from large (1) to tiny (6). You can also - select pre for preformatted - text blocks, and three types of List - Item. - - - - - Text style - - - Use these buttons to determine the way your letters - look. If you have text selected, the style will - apply to the selected text. If you do not have text - selected, the style will apply to whatever you type - next. The buttons are: - - Push B for bold text - Push I for italics - Push U to underline - Push S for a strikethrough. - - - - - - Alignment - - - Located next to the text style buttons, - these three paragraph icons should be familiar to - users of most word processing software. The - leftmost button will make your text left-justified, - the center button, centered, and the right hand - button, right-justified. - - - - - - Indentation rules - - - The button with the arrow pointing left will reduce - a paragraph's indentation, and the right arrow will - increase its indentation. - - - - - - Color Selection - - - At the far right is the color section tool. You can - choose from several colors by clicking on the arrow, - or create your own custom color by clicking on the - color box itself. If you have text selected, the - color will apply to the selected text. If you do - not have text selected, the color will apply to - whatever you type next. - - - - - - - - - There are three tools that you can find only in the - Insert menu. - - - Insert Link: - - - Use this tool to put hyperlinks in your HTML - messages. When you select it, - Evolution will prompt you - for the Text that will appear, - and the Link, where you should - enter the actual web address (URL). If you don't - want special link text, you can just enter the address - directly, and Evolution - will recognize it as a link. - - - - - Insert Image: - - - Insert Image: Select this - item to embed an image into your email, as was done in - the welcome message. Images will appear at the - location of the cursor. This is different from - attaching them to a message, but not very different. - - - - - Insert Rule: - - This will insert a horizontal line, or rule, into your document. - You'll be presented with a dialog box which gives you - the choice of size, percentage of screen, shading, and - alignment; if you leave everything at the default - values you'll get a thin black rule all the way across - the screen. - - - - - - A Technical note on HTML Tags - - The composer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) - editor for HTML. That means that if you enter HTML - directly into the composer— say, <B>Bold Text</B>, the - the composer will assume you meant exactly that string - of characters, and not "make this text bold," as an HTML - composition tool or text editor would. - - - - - - - - - - Forwarding Mail - - The post office forwards your mail for you when you change - addresses, and you can forward mail when you get a letter by - mistake. The email Forward button - works in much the same way. It's particularly useful if you - have received a message and you think someone else would - like to see it. You can forward a message as an attachment - to a new message (this is the default) or - you can send it inline as a quoted - portion of the message you are sending. Attachment - forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered - message on to someone else. Inline forwarding is best if - you want to send portions of a message, or if you have a - large number of comments on different sections of the - message you are forwarding. Remember to note from whom the - message came, and where, if at all, you have removed or - altered content. - - - To forward a message you are reading, press - Forward on the toolbar, or select - Message - Forward . If you - prefer to forward the message inline - instead of attached, select - Message Forward - Inline from the menu. Choose an - addressee as you would when sending a new message; the - subject will already be entered, but you can alter it. - Enter your comments on the message in the - composition frame, and press - Send. - - - - Seven Tips for Email Usage - - I started with ten, but four were "Don't send - spam." - - - - - Don't send spam or forward chain mail. If you must, - watch out for hoaxes and urban legends, and make sure - the message doesn't have multiple layers of - greater-than signs, (>) indicating multiple layers - of careless inline forwarding. - - - - - - Always begin and close with a salutation. Say - "please" and "thank you", just like you do in real - life. You can keep your pleasantries short, but be pleasant! - - - - - - ALL CAPS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! Don't write a whole - message in capital letters. It hurts people's ears. - - - - - - Never write anything in email you wouldn't say in - public. Old messages have a nasty habit of - resurfacing when you least expect. - - - - - - Check your spelling and use complete sentences. - - - - - - Don't send nasty emails (flames). If you get one, - don't write back. - - - - - - When you reply or forward, include just enough of - the previous message to provide context: not too - much, not too little. - - - - - Happy mailing! - - - - - - Organizing Your Mail - - Even if you only get a few email messages a day, you probably - want to sort and organize them. When you get a hundred a day - and you want to refer to a message you received six weeks ago, - you need to sort and organize them. - Fortunately, Evolution has the tools - to help you do it. - - - Sorting Mail with Column Headers - - By default, the columns in a mail message list are an - envelope icon indicating whether a message has been read - (closed for unread, open for read), an exclamation point - indicating priority, and the From, - Subject, and Date - fields. However, you can change that if you want. - - - Right-click on one of the column headers to get a list of - options: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Getting Organized with Folders - - Evolution keeps mail, as well as - address cards and calendars, in folders. You start out with a - few, like Inbox, - Outbox, and Drafts, - but you can create as many as you like. Create new folders by - selecting New and then - Folder from the - File menu. - Evolution will as you for the name - and the type of the folder, and will provide you with a folder - tree so you can pick where it goes. - - - When you click OK, your new folder will - appear in the folder view. You can - then put messages in it by dragging and dropping them, or by - using the Move button in the - toolbar. If you want to move several messages at once, click - on the ones you want to move while holding down the - CTRL key, or use Shift to - select a range of messages. If you create a filter with the - filter assistant, you can have mail - moved to your folder automatically. - - - - - Searching for Messages - - Most mail clients can search through your messages for you, - but Evolution does it faster. You - can search through just the message subjects, just the message - body, or both body and subject. - - - To start searching, enter a word or phrase in the text area - right below the toolbar, and choose a search type: - - - Body or subject contains: - - - This will search message subjects and the messages - themselves for the word or phrase you've entered in - the search field. - - - - - Body contains: - - - This will search only in message text, not the subject - lines. - - - - - Subject contains: - - - This will show you messages where the search text is - in the subject line. It will not search in the - message body. - - - - - Body does not contain: - - - This finds every email message that does not have the - search text in the message body. It will still show - messages that have the search text in the subject - line, if it is not also in the body. - - - - - Subject does not contain: - - - This finds every mail whose subject does not contain - the search text. - - - - - - Then, press Enter. - Evolution will show your search - results in the message list. - - - - - - Staying organized: Mail Filters in Evolution - - I once worked in the mail room of a large company, where my - job was to bundle, sort, and distribute mail to the various - mail boxes and desks throughout the building. Filters do that - same job with email, but they lose much less mail than I did. - In addition, you can have multiple filters performing multiple - actions that may effect the same message in several ways. For - example, your filters could put copies of one message into - multiple folders, or keep a copy and send one to another - person as well. Which is to say, it's quite a bit more - flexible than an actual person with a pile of envelopes. - - - Most often, you'll want to have - Evolution put mail into different - folders, but you can have it do almost anything you like. - People who subscribe to multiple mailing lists, or who often - need to refer to messages they have sent, find filters - especially helpful to separate personal from list-related - mail, but they're good for anybody who gets more than a few - messages a day. To create a filter, open the - filter assistant by selecting - - Tools - Mail Filters - . - - -
- The Filter Assistant - - The Filter Assistant - - - -
- - - The filter assistant window contains a - list of your current filters, sorted by the order in which - they are used. From the drop-down box at the top of the - window, choose Incoming to display - filters for incoming mail, and On Demand - for those which sort your mail only when you want. - - - The filter assistant also has a set of - buttons: - - - - Add — Create a new filter. - - - - Edit — Edit an existing filter. - - - - Delete — Delete the selected filter. - - - Up — Move the - selected filter up in the list so it gets applied first. - - - - Down — Move the selected filter down - in the list, so it comes into play later. - - - - If you don't have any filters set up, the only one of those - buttons you can click is Add. When you - do that, (or when you click Edit with a - filter selected), the Add Rule window - appears. - - - That window, shown in , is where you'll - actually create your filtering rule. - -
- Creating a new Filter - - Creating a new Filter - - - -
- - - Enter a name for your filter in the Rule - Name field, and then begin choosing criteria. - Choose how many criteria you'd like by pressing Add - Criterion and Remove - Criterion. If you have multiple criteria, you - should then decide whether to have the filter do its job only - if all criteria are met, or if - any criteria are met. - - - For each of your filter criteria, you must first select what - part of the message you want the filter to look at: - - - Sender - - The author of the message. - - - - - Recipients - - The recipients of the message. - - - - - Subject - - The subject line of the message. - - - - - - Specific Header - The filter can look at any header you - want, even obscure or custom ones like X-Bonus or - X-Archive. Enter the header name, and what you'd like to - match inside it. - - - - Message Body - - The actual text of the message. - - - - - Expression - Enter a regular - expression, and - Evolution will search the - entire message, headers and all, to match it for you. - - - - - - Date Sent - - You can filter messages by when they were sent: First, - choose how you'd like to match the time— - before, - after and so forth. Then, choose - the time. The filter compare the message's time-stamp - to the system clock when the filter is run, or to a - specific time and date you choose from a calendar. - You can even have it look for messages within a range - of time relative to the filter. For example, you could have - the filter catch all messages sent less - than a week before the filter is run. - - - - - Date Recieved - - This works the same way as the Date Sent - option, except that it compares the time you got the message - with the dates you specify. - - - - - Priority - - Emails have a standard priority range from -3 (least - important) to 3 (most important). You can have filters set the - priority of messages you recieve, and then have other filters - applied only to those messages which have a certain priority. - - - - - Regex Match - - If you know your way around a regular - expression, or regex, put your knowledge to - use here. You can match your expression in the message - headers or in its body. - - - - - Source - - Filter messages according the server you got them from. You can enter a URL or - choose one from the drop-down list. This criterion is only relevant if you - use more than one mail source. - - - - - - Now, tell it what to do with those messages. If you want multiple - actions, click Add Action; if you want fewer, - click Remove Action. And choose again: - - - - Copy to Folder - - If you select this item, Evolution - will put the messages into a folder you specify. Click the - <click here to select a folder> button - to select a folder. - - - - - Move to Folder - - If you select this item, Evolution - will put the messages into a folder you specify. Click the - <click here to select a folder> button - to select a folder. - - - - - Forward to Address - - Select this, enter an address, and the addressee will - get a copy of the message. - - - - - Delete - - Marks the message for deletion. You can still get the message - back, at least until you Expunge your - mail yourself. - - - - - Stop Processing - - Select this if you want to tell all other filters to ignore - this message, because whatever you've done with it so far - is plenty. - - - - - Assign Color - - Select this item, and Evolution - will mark the message with whatever color you please. - - - - - Assign Score - If you know that all mail with - "important" somewhere in the message body line is - important, you can give it a high priority score. In a subsequent filter you can - then arrange your messages by their priority score. - - - - - - - You're done. Click OK to use this - filter, or Cancel to close the window - without saving any changes. - - - - - - - - Two Notable Filter Features - - - - Incoming email that your filters don't move goes into the Inbox; - outgoing mail that they don't move ends up in the Sent folder. - - - - If you move a folder, your filters - will follow it. - - - - - - - - - Getting Really Organized with Virtual Folders - - If filters aren't flexible enough for you, or you find - yourself performing the same search again and again, consider - a virtual folder. Virtual folders, or vFolders, are an - advanced way of viewing your email messages within - Evolution. If you get a lot of - mail or often forget where you put messages, virtual folders can help - you stay on top of things. - - - A virtual folder is really a hybrid of all the other organizational - tools: it looks like a folder, it acts like a search, and you - set it up like a filter. In other words, while a conventional - folder actually contains messages, a virtual folder is a view of - messages that may be in several different folders. The - messages it contains are determined on the fly using a set of - criteria you choose in advance. - - - - As messages that meet the virtual folder criteria arrive or are - deleted, Evolution will - automatically place them in and and remove them from the - virtual folder contents list. When you delete a message, it gets - erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as - any virtual folders which display it. - - - - Imagine a business trying to keep track of mail from hundreds - of vendors and clients, or a university with overlapping and - changing groups of faculty, staff, administrators and - students. The more mail you need to organize, the less you - can afford the sort of confusion that stems from an - organizational system that's not flexible enough. virtual folders - make for better organization because they can accept - overlapping groups in a way that regular folders and filing - systems can't. - - - - Using Folders, Searches, and Virtual Folders - - To organize my mail box, I set up a virtual folder for emails from - my friend and co-worker Anna. I have another one for - messages from anybody at work that have "Evolution" in the - subject line, so I can keep a record of what people from - work send me about Evolution. - If Anna sends a message about a picnic on Saturday, it only - shows up in the "Anna" folder. When Anna sends me mail - about the user interface for - Evolution, I can see that - message both in the "Anna" virtual folder and in the "Internal - Evolution Discussion" virtual folder. - - - - - - - To create a virtual folder, select - Tools Virtual Folder - Editor . This will bring up a - dialog box that looks suspiciously like the filter window - (for more information on filters, see ), and which - presents you with a list of virtual folders you have previously - created. If you have created any virtual folders, they are listed - here, and you can select, edit or remove them if you wish. - If you have not created any, there will be only one available - option: click Add to add a new - vFolder. - - - You can enter a name for your virtual folder in the - Name.
