My apologies for the way that sounded.  I didn't mean that the
implementors of Evo are lazy.  What I meant to say was that a simple
"it's impossible" reply (or even a "it's too hard" reply) was rather
lazy (besides being quite incorrect).  Again my apologies to the Ximian
folks and other Evolution contributors.  Evolution is an *awesome* piece
of work, you folks are *definately* not lazy.

BTW, definable quotation strings are definately *not* my pet feature - I
couldn't care much less about it.  _My_ pet feature request is that LDAP
search attributes be customizable for the auto-completion feature.

Cheers!
