No signature selector on "compose message"

[Iñigo Martinez]

Binary package hint: evolution

uploaded to -proposed:
evolution (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/92_git_fix_proxy_ignore_hosts.patch:
    - backport from upstream, change the migration to 2.30 for people
      using /apps/evolution/shell/network_config/ignore_hosts (LP: #659153)
  * debian/patches/92_git_only_hide_signature_on_express.patch:
    - show signature if you have one account and aren't in express mode
      (LP: #649609)

Test case:
1. install the version from -proposed
2. click on compose a new email
3. check that you can now see and select the combobox containing signature
/!\ This should be reported by people having more than one account (check myself that is was the case) but also by people having only one account registered in evolution. Please state it when confirming.

--------------

Signature selector on compose message window has dissapeared on maverik.

So, you only can send emails with default signature selected under Preferences->Composer Preferences->Signatures.

Evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu5

the signature combo is available here, could you please check the same with a new user created on your system ? do you get any warning while running evolution from the command line?

[Iñigo Martinez (inigoml-inigoml)]

From command line, Evo shows no error:

imartinez@deimos:~$ evolution
EI: MAIL PREFS

[Iñigo Martinez (inigoml-inigoml)]

With a new created, clean user, there is no signature combo...

[Iñigo Martinez (inigoml-inigoml)]

Hi Pedro.

I've found a workaround.

If you add a second email account, you will have the From line and signature combo will appear. But, of course, a second email account is needed.

I too upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and the signature button has disappeared. I created a fresh evolution mailbox account for another user on my pc and the same problem occurs.

According to upstream comments this issue is already fixed in 2.32 by this commit:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=402166be5496cfaf5ac5908702d74f02fce4c1e7

I can confirm that adding a 2nd account fixed this issue for me. The signature selector returns when composing a new email.
 I had a single account set up and was experiencing the same problem after updgrading to 10.10.

Accepted evolution into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Thank you!

Please, do not change the status. It will be changed once it's in copied in natty and maverick-updates.
