Re: [Evolution] Message composition freezes regulary

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

it doesn't happen for me, nor should it cause a temp hang. is your hard
drive exceedingly slow? is your home dir mounted over a slow NFS link?

it might not even be the autosave (I can't imagine autosave even being
noticable).

have you tried uninstalling gnome-spell? does that make a difference?

(actually, I have gnome-spell too but it doesn't cause any hangs for
me... but it's another possibility?)
