RE: [Evolution] Evolutiuon 1.4 unusable :(

["Cabral, Carlson" <ccabral craworld com>]

Jeff,

I don't really see where the hostility is in this thread... I think you're
iverreacting. I guess a little more caffeine would do you some good :-)

The way I see it though, is that the reason we are reporting these bugs, and
subscribing to this list, and all those good tings, it's because _we care_
about Evolution. If we didn't, none of us would even bother to look for some
answers. To be honest, Mozilla Mail is a good client, but I don't use it and
I don't care if it's broken or not.

Cheers,

Carlson

P.S. Jeff, I was just replying to this message when I saw your other one
coming. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. And I _did_ ask my ISP. They're
useless, unlike you guys. Chill out bro, it's Summer after all :-)

the emacs keybindings is also suckage in gtk2's design, isn't it? thus
making it extremely difficult to make it work right in evo...

so for all this hostility against us in this thread, it is really
misdirected...
