I think it is important to recognize that currently (to my understanding) Evolution is in a feature freeze for version 2.0. So recommending additional features to the developers and then getting upset that they tell you the software is currently unable to support that isn't going to help anything. And to make things worse then you attack their coding abilities. The developers have put a lot of time and effort into this project, and to make such a bold and unjust statement simply because a developer who has intimate knowledge of the code structure said that it is not possible right now is awful. "vent a bit of frustration about the nature of this list (or perhaps about my misunderstanding of the function of this list?)." Perhaps that is the case. It was my understanding that this is the evolution-users list. A place where users can try to assist each other with problems that they have encountered with the software. I don't think this is the proper forum to spout of random feature requests for the software and sling insults toward the developers.
