Annotations would be fine for follow-up, but I think labels should be stored in flags as regular human-readable strings so they could interoperate with other IMAP clients as well. I'd love to start using labels, but there's too much of a risk to lose that information now so I'm instead just keeping all TODO-type mail as unread. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
