Good to know, but it's definitely not present in my copy of Evo. I'm using the standard Fedora 12 install, currently evolution-2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64. Perhaps this is an optional extra (though I don't see it on the standard repos), or the Fedora packagers need to be told about it. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
