No-one is using Evolution outside of a GUI, for obvious reasons, yet many people on this list (including myself) have a strong preference for plain-text email and tend to ignore the HTML version where possible. I know we are a minority. (We also don't like top-posting and we're in a minority on that front as well, but there are well-founded reasons for this and we're not going to give them up any time soon.) > Whatever the case, it is commendable that Greg want's to assure that his > messages are going to be effortlessly formatted when using Evolution.

I think Evo has to accommodate itself to user expectations where practical. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
