[Bug 74894] Re: NNTP posting should be auto-detected.

[Michael Trausch]

It is probably a mixture of both, actually; it is an inconsistency in
the user interface.  When you have multiple e-mail accounts (for
example, I have an IMAP e-mail account and a POP3 email account) it
automatically starts composing new mail messages using the relevant
account, depending on what is selected.  However, if you’ve got an NNTP
account selected, that behavior does not happen.

And, the “editable toolbar/menu” feature that GNOME applications are
supposed to adhere to… well, Evolution doesn’t honor that, and it
should.  So there is no way for me to bind a key to the action of “Post
to the folder I am in,” would would be the second best option; the best
option, of course, would be for it to behave consistently: When I am in
my Gmail account, fire off e-mail that way.  When I am in my college
account, fire off e-mail that way.  When I am in my NNTP account, fire
off a post to the newsgroup that way.  :-)

My comment about the priority is more of a global thing; it seems that
every project makes the quirks and inconsistencies a low priority.  Of
course, if I knew how to fix these things myself, I would… at least, I
suppose, I know how to report them.  That doesn’t really say that much,
though.  :-/
