Idea #21193: Add a "Newsletter" compositing option in Evolution

Written by sroland the 26 Aug 09 at 01:08. Related project: Evolution Mail and Calendar. Status: New
Rationale
I found Evolution the best mail client ever existed... but it lacks a Newsletter compositing option with Templates and examples... HTML support is quite well but it should have pre-designed Newsletters with spaces for image insertion and so on...

Solution #1: Add the "Compose Newsletter" option in Evolution
Written by sroland the 26 Aug 09 at 01:08.
In the "New" sub-menu, calendar, appointment, contact... add the "Newsletter Mail" option in which you can choose Newsletter Templates in HTML format... with enhanced HTML edition capabilities like different fonts in the same mail and things like that... Lot of people involved in the marketing business told me this as a missed feature of Evolution, that we all know as the best client ever...

I'm not familiar with this format or style. Can you provide a link to an example?

I guess, he/she means a feature which is included in Mac OSX (in the Mail application) that lets create preformated letters thanks to templates. Check this link for further information: http://ripple.ca/?p=320

I think it is a cool idea to make the Evolution more "friendly", oriented towards "entertainment'. Though, Evolution has, to me, a professional orientation. By including this feature, won't we miss the point of its main use? On the other hand, I think Evolution lacks some features to make it more "professional". But this is another issue.
