Thanks.  Tried that and it appears to provide exactly the needed
functionality. 

The obvious next question for me is:

How do I set Preformat to come up as the default each and every time?
I will never want anything else. Really never.  I never send html mail,
and I filter what comes to me to a spam directory.  And I don't want the
"Normal" behavior.

Yes it is, but Evolution is still nicer.  You guys have done a great
job.  Thanks for the help.

As far as upgrading, as a few noted, I'm on a very slow link here, so my
first upgrades will be security-related.
