[Evolution] Evolutiuon 1.4 unusable :(



Fortunately I didn't install evolution 1.4 on my main system.

There are two issues which makes evolution 1.4 unusable,
both concerns the composer.

1) Emacs style editing keys in composer doesn't work.
   (for someone having used emacs for the last 23 years, this
    is VERY annoying).

2) When replying to mails, the whole message is considered one
   "chunk" in a way. I can't insert and remove text between the
   "> -lines" This makes replying to messages unusable.

example:
in a reply message like this, you may have issue one
here I reply to issue one.

and this is about issue two.
here I reply to issue two.

This is very basic and fundamental, and in evolution 1.4 I can't
edit the mails in the way I want. To be able to reply to a mail
I have to copy it to emacs anyway, where I can edit it, and
then send it back.

A better idea then would maybe be to have the possibility to use
emacsclient for composing instead.

PS. of course, as this is open source (GPL?, didn't check) I could
start my own fork of (r)evolution...
