RE: [Evolution] Evolutiuon 1.4 unusable :(

That sure was Mark!

For the record, I didn't "ask" another question. I just reported what
happened to me while trying to use a feature that was very straight forward
in previous versions of Evo. If that wasn't broken, why fix it then? That's
the whole thing with 1.4. It's all broken at features that were there
before, used to work, and now...

Don't get me wrong, I love Evo and prefer it over any other program at any
time, but it has to be _usable_.

Not a good idea, being smug answering one question, and then asking another,
on a mailing list ;O)

I ask and had this answered last week.  While you used to be able to drag
emails anywhere onto the composer and have it attach them properly in 1.2,
in 1.4 you have th drop them onto the "Header" part of the window for this
to work, not the text entry bottom half.  Then it works.

That was an easy one!  ;O)
