Now admittedly I'm a bit of a noob, so there may be some reason I'm overlooking that this hasn't been suggested yet, but to me it seems like the obvious solution would be to make this a pref, but not expose it in evolution's prefs dialogs, only editable in gconf. Wouldn't everyone be happy that way?

Dumbing down the interface to satisfy the novice, while sacrificing advanced functionality and flexibility for everyone else is *exactly* what's *wrong* with Windows. If Gnome (and by extension, Evolution) continues to follow the same path, it won't be any more appealing than Windows/Outlook (or KDE/Kmail for that matter). Please, evolution developers, don't follow this path. It leads to darkness...
