It's not a preview, it's a view. :)

Anyway, people seem to want this. Chris, what's the status of the EPaned
snap-to-left/right/top/bottom thing? I guess we could make it so it
doesn't download the message if you have no display pane visible.

Also note that there is some way to move through the message list
without selecting messages. I think it's Control+Up/Down? (Although
Sawfish seems to grab that on my system.). Not obvious, I know.

More of an HTML limitation. There's no guarantee that the person who
receives your mail is going to be able to display the fonts you choose.

I don't know if we have any plans to put any font selection stuff in the
composer at any point.

If you send a meeting request from evolution to evolution, it won't
recognize it either, so this doesn't surprise me. Yeah, this isn't done
yet.

I believe this is fixed with the latest xml-i18n-tools.
