Well that is the thing, it is not possible to launch a composer window
from the command line yet. :(

Well we have developers using evolution as their daily mail client,
unless they are system specific problems they would generally be felt by
all.

The crash i think happened somewhere in the etree code which is under
heavy development right now (if i remember correctly, possibly i dont).

If you do a query on mailer bugs (the interface is a bit messy) you can
get a list of already reported bugs which is a little more complete than
checking the mailing lists (probably right now about 1/2 and 1/2 reports
are going each way).  Most of the ones in bugzilla are vetted to ensure
they really are bugs too, etc.

We're going through a feature filling phase at the moment, hopefully
stability will follow soon!
