Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help me out with a slight evolution problem. I want a certain key word in a subject of a received email to kick off a program. But it just doesn't seem to work as it should.
I did a little test by first making a simply pop up:
echo -e "zenity --info --text=\"TEST\"" > ~/bins/TESTER
chmod +x ~/bins/TESTER
I tested this and it was fine. I then added the evolution filter if subject contains TESTER change colour and Run Program ~/bin/TESTER.
Now if I send myself an email with the subject TESTER the colour does indeed change but there is no pop up. If I select the email and hammer ctrl+y (to reapply filters) loads of times it does eventually. But that's not exactly useful.
Has anyone any ideas what could be wrong?
O incidentally it's not the GUI aspect as I switched the pop up to just logging to a text file without any effect.
