For example, I am still currently running Evolution 1.0.3, which has that nasty From: crashing bug, becuase I haven't bothered to update my patched Debian packages of Evolution. So there is a security risk even in just displaying the version of Evolution (and arguably a greater one than that of displaying your GNU system configuration type). _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
