Re: [Evolution] View --> Hide Deleted Messages broke?

Ben,

Sorry if I came over sounding a bit gruff.  That wasn't my intention.

It just sounded like you were new to the list, and the developers (of

work like a bought one) so I thought I'd respond (politely I'd hoped)
and fill you in.

regards


Rodd Clarkson
