Yeah, also part of the problem is that not as many people have been testing the Evolution betas before 1.4 as they did with 1.0 and 1.2 -- so some of the changes didn't get as much exposure as they should have. If the problem had been reported in any of the various 1.3.x releases, we would have fixed it (i.e. worked around it :-)) by now... > > How can that be??

Judging from Bugzilla this is actually a very stable Evolution release. -- Ettore _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
