2. when using evolution: I am having to use the "flat reveiw mode", using the number pad. How does one select text, activate links from e-mail etc?
I can't answer your other questions, but the one about Evolution is easy. Hit F7, or select "Caret Mode" from the view menu. I find that it is easier to read messages from the preview pane than it is to open them in a new window. To activate a link, you would arrow around until you are on the link, and hit the "/" key on the numeric pad to simulate a left click.
