this indeed would be a great ui, no need for options because the defaults were chosen properly :) several "designing the perfect ui" documents I've read say that more options means bad ui, and that limiting the number of options makes a better ui. this can be done by choosing more sane defaults (which by popular opinion we seem to have done) > > You should at least de-couple the desirability/usefulness of an option > with its presentation in the GUI, and address those issues separately. there's already a feature request floating around for this option to appear in some future version of evolution in bugzilla somewhere. that said, you'll just have to wait.
