This is called "spinning your wheels". You backed up your settings and then restored them. What did you expect to change? > 2) Reinstalled evolution (via yum reinstall) Another waste of time. This isn't Windows. If you suspect some part of Evo is corrupt, use "rpm -V" to check the package installation. > I am running fedora 13 with evolution-2.30.3-1.fc13.x86_64.

This means that even serious security bugs will not be fixed, and your Evo version will gradually drift away from the mainstream, making it increasingly hard to get help. You should update to F15 or F16. Your problem may be related to /etc/mime.types (perhaps it's corrupt). poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
