Re: [Evolution] External pictures in html mails

[Stephen Witkop <switk yahoo com>]

I had this problem a while back also. The other program where the
problem showed up was gnome dictionary. Gdict would give an error that a
connection to the Internet was not available but everything else that
needed it worked fine. Evo would download mail from a pop3 server but
wouldn't load external pictures. I searched every gconf and gnome
configuration setting I could find but finally had to back up my $HOME
directory and start with a clean one recreating all my program settings
from scratch.

The only thing that I could think of was that it was from an older gnome
setting since my $HOME directory had been backed up and restored through
a couple of versions of Redhat.
