I use Evolution as my email client.
I use gmail accounts to group my various interests via different email addresses and receive my emails via their SMTP server services.
Everything works great except that when I get an email from a sender using a Yahoo account, the content is in some sort of text box frame thingy.
And even that is OK (I can read it and such) except that when I type text in to reply to something it doesn't handle prefacing the quoted text lines with a ">", for example.
Anyone else run into this ?
Is there an easy way to work with these sorts of emails ?
Thanks

---- yes... it's been an issue for quite some time.
I generally get my cursor at the bottom most point inside the containing box and start deleting stuff I don't want but of course that is a hassle.
The other options are to change the format to HTML, delete the crap you want out, and then change it back to plain text or copy and paste into a regular (non-html) text editor and copy it again from there and paste it back into Evolution.
No really simple solutions I am afraid to relate.
I'm beginning to dislike most everything Yahoo these days.

Ditto. They also have no comprehension of list threading standards, and it's apparently impossible to post in plain text.
Friends don't let friends use Yahoo Mail :-)
