I think we'd save a lot of people a lot of grief if the Help file pointed to this FAQ, and if this list included the URL of the FAQ in every message. Note that if you register at www.go-evolution.org you can add material to the FAQ, which would make it even better.
poc PS I've edited the Subject of this message to include the word FAQ so as to make it easier to find. I only came across it by searching the bodies of archived messages, because I remembered that it had been posted once.
