Hi all,

Just wondering why the strings in ~/evolution/config.xmldb are in hex?
This makes it harder to check/edit configuration, which is one of the
good things about xml. I know they used to just use plain text. Is there
a particular reason the strings are stored in hex now?

Example:
<entry name="source_url_0" type="string" value="6d626f783a2f686f6d652f746f6d2f4d61696c2f65766f626f78"/>

Cheers,

Tom.
