RE: [Evolution] Evolutiuon 1.4 unusable :(

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

Title: Message

Ok Jeff,

 

I apologize for anything I have said that insulted you. That was not my intent, although I must recognize that comparing Outlook to Evo is a bit hard for anyone working on a product as good as Evo. And I know you guys do work hard to make it the best PIM out there.

 

Like I said at the end of my previous message, I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. Maybe when I am in the Boston area I can buy you a beer ;-) OR when you're in the Toronto area I will buy you some nice Canadian lunch with a beer or two. How's that? No hard feelings, Jeff.

 

Have a good one,

 

Carlson

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 :-)

Also, I am not sure you noticed, but Evo 1.4.1 is taking just as long to be
released as any proprietary (namely M$) "patch". And yes, I am using Outlook
to compose this message because at work I can't do anything else. At least,
it works foro the most part.

that's not "hostility"? pretty hard to take that any other way...

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.

I understand this, and I'm glad people have an interest. but insulting is is not the way to make it come across that way.

after all, we are people too. and we have feelings. I am 100% positive that you would not have taken kindly to your first message either.

Jeff

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...
