this indeed would be a great ui, no need for options because the
defaults were chosen properly :)

several "designing the perfect ui" documents I've read say that more
options means bad ui, and that limiting the number of options makes a
better ui. this can be done by choosing more sane defaults (which by
popular opinion we seem to have done)

there's already a feature request floating around for this option to
appear in some future version of evolution in bugzilla somewhere.
