And as the Evolution developers say: "We accept patches :)"

They are building the client for us (the users) not them (the developers)
and there's a lot I'd like to see happen myself, but I'd rather have a
stable mailer that does IMAP, scheduling, contacts, and all that other
jazz before getting refinements (like making my sent-mail be an IMAP
folder).  That's a big one for me.  *BUT* until they get around to
implementing it, I work around it by whipping up a script to import my
sent-mail folder to my IMAP one daily.  Not a perfect solution, but it's
on their todo list and that's good enough for me.

Seriously though, I can see where they are coming from in not addressing
it pre-1.0.  It'd probably be easier to petition the Eudora team to do
their bounce messages differently since that's really the problem.
