Thanks for writing!  I do appreciate it!

I understand how that sort of thing goes....

If it's possible to launch a composer window from the command line, I
think it will be doable.  I'm no galeon geek either, but I did figure
out that I can launch an evo window by setting up the MIME type in
Gnome.

Does this mean the random crashes, or the IMAP crashes that I posted
with a subject header "reproducible crash?"   Of course, less crashes is
a good thing, but I'm very interested in hearing an update about the
IMAP issue.....

I'm reading the mailing list to see about bugs that I've reported.  I'm
not very familiar with bugzilla usage.  I've used it to report RedHat
bugs (which RedHat never fixed) so I can probably figure it our for evo.

Of course.  I don't say this often enough - evo is really cool.  I'm
planning to switch my wife over to it (from netscape) once it gets just
a little bit more stable.....

Very cool.  Thanks for the hacking!
