[Development] gnome evolution plugin (original) (raw)

Hi,
I started developing a LaTeX extension to convert messages with Tex equations into messages with small embeded images that would display nicely. Evolution somehow lacks this feature.

I have one one side C/C++ code that does the conversion job, and on the other side the plugin sample example-module.zip that compile and works.

However, I cannot find how to retrieve the message currently edited from the EMsgComposer class. I can successfully set a message using e_msg_composer_set_body_text(), but retrieving the currently edited message doesn’t seem to have the corresponding function.

I could not find a proper documentation for writing plugins. There’s a single example available and no tutorial I could find. Even chatgpt doesn’t know ;-).

So I really need some help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m the wrong person to ask. I suggest you post your question on the
Evolution mailing list. See:
