Re: [Evolution] Evolution + GW7

Harish,

Thanks for the quick reply! I've love to get both 2.4.2 and the 2.5.x
RPMs. If I could get binary RPMS for SuSE10 and the SRPM, I could also
try to build it for NLD9. 

I tried to e-mail you off-list but a novell mail server bounced the saying my mailserver was an open relay. 
Which is interesting as I e-mail other people within Novell quite often (and it's not an open relay :P)



Thanks a lot,
