[Evolution-users] Using Evolution to post(!) to a newsgroup

[Volker Bartheld]

... this mail accidentially was sent directly to Milan, because of the 
Reply-To header. My apologies. Milan then replied that for e-mail and 
NNTP accounts being present in Evolution, one should use CTRL-L to reply 
to the list.

I'll have a look and see if that solves my issue.

Thanks again for your help.

Greets,

Hi Milan!

Oh. Interesting. I really thought I had tried this and it didn't work 
for me. Perhaps overlooked a little detail. Because somehow, the...

... "Post To" option did not come up. Instead, I was presented a mail 
composer with the recipient address being that of the person who posted 
the message. Could something like this happen because I had configured a 
"real" e-mail account (POP3S, SSMTP) as well? Would there be any way to 
decide whether you want to post to the newsgroup or reply to the 
originator via PM?

Yes, I know that's a quite common and embarassing mishap for Thunderbird 
users that they post if they want to send an e-mail and vice versa. I'm 
aware of that, but really want to have a single solution for e-mail AND 
NNTP. There, Evolution seems to fit the bill perfectly, better than Pan, 
KMail, Thunderbird, Claws Mail/Sylpheed, KNode, Liferea or 40tude/Wine. 
Pan is quite nice, but it obviously has no way of importing old messages 
and maintaining a proper offline database is close to impossible.

I'll try again. Let's see if an existing e-mail account makes a 
difference.

Thanks for the instructions.
