No, but that feature request is in bugzilla. (bugzilla.ximian.com)

Read the help/faq stuff about how trash works in Evolution. It's a
virtual folder. You can't change that in 1.0. There is also a feature
request for "normal" trash in bugzilla, but no clue when that would ever
happen.

Sounds like a problem with your firewall I think. I haven't heard anyone
else having problems with this.

I don't remember if anyone else answered this. Most things use your
default Gtk font (which you can change from the "theme" control
center applet. The mail display pane and the composer use the GtkHTML
fonts, which you can change in the "HTML viewer" control center applet.

You can change the format from "Normal" to "Preformat", and then it
won't add linebreaks. You can't change the margin for Normal mode.

But it ought to put your sig in preformat by default anyway, so if it
didn't, that's a bug...
