Re: [Evolution] Future of Evolution

["Job 317" <job317 mailvault com>]

Again, I am unsure of your source of agitation. I am making comparrisons
between e-mail clients and it is a useful feature that come clients have
chosen to implement. I like Evolution a lot. Actually, it is my favorite
client for Linux and my desire is to see it blow everyone else away with
its features.

I might even be persuaded to assist in the development of the requested
features. I simply wasn't sure whether the features were currently being
developed. This was the original nature of my post -- whether these
features are being planned or not.

Regards,

JOB
