Binary package hint: evolution-exchange

Subject line says it all. As far as I know, Evolution does use the Gnome proxy 
settings for images inside emails, but does not for proxies, and when I tried 
using the syntax http://proxy.server:port/my.exchange.site/exchange it did
not work either. I know that the proxy is working because if I set it in the 
Gnome proxy settings and then use Places/Connect to Server and use the WebDEV
protocl I can connect just fine and browse through my email directories. At 
first
I thought of this as a new feature, but really it is a bug because Evolution, 
as any GNOME application, should be following GNOME settings for everything, 
not just selectively choosing what HTTP requests it uses the proxy for.

I feel like this would be a one or two line fix in the code, and I would
love to use the version of evoloution that supports HTTP proxying
properly :)

Thanks
Misha
