[Novalug] Interesting Evolution observation

A ramble to start the day ....

I just sent an email to a number of people.  I referenced that some had
asked about the "file attached to my emails" that they could not open
(all my emails are digitally signed and that is what they are seeing &
trying to open).

What I found interesting is that Evolution scanned the message, saw the
word "attached" and prompted me when sending it to say it noticed
references to attachments but none were found!  Man, now we are getting
some interesting intelligence in our software!  I have mixed feelings
about this - I like the protection to save me from the embarrassment of
sending a second email and apologizing for not having done it right to
begin with.  But I also see this as being confusing to non-techies ... 

I don't know if anyone else noticed this ... but it helped me clear the
sand outta my eyes before sending.

Have a great day!

Rich
