I suppose if there was a way to set Evolution so that it would always open on the Summary page whenever I started it, then I'd look at it more often. But yeah, I only see it when some other component crashes, and it surprises me too. I won't miss it. The shortcut bar has been a necessary evil. I'd like to see it gone as well. Here's a feature from Eudora that I would love to see implemented in Evolution. Whenever replying to an e-mail, I would love to be able to highlight a section of the original e-mail and have only the highlighted portion appear in the reply. That would save me having to delete large amounts of text when I only want to reply to a single sentence or paragraph (like in this e-mail). I would also love to see synchronization with the categories I've set up on my Palm Pilot. I use the categories a lot and would like to use the same categories easily on Evolution. Oooh! And a port to Windows! Evolution is the best groupware product I've used, much better and feature-rich than Outlook, but there is no equivalent available in Windows -- here is one arena where Linux has surpassed Windows on the desktop (way to go, Ximian!). I know a Windows port will probably never happen, but a fellow can dream, can't he? -- Slainte, Richard S.
