Uses the GNOME desktop, yes, uses Evolution to send mail... not so
much. We may have very credible spokespersons who use Thunderbird or
Mutt, for instance, and I'd hate to get excludy because of something
like that.

I, for one, wouldn't see a credibility gap for a spokesperson using a
"non-standard" application for something. Not using GNOME, yes, that
would be a stretch.

Best,
