[Evolution] Resolving HTML mail with a proxy

["Chris Worley" <worleys gmail com>]

I'm running OpenSuSE 10.2.

Whenever I get an email containing HTML that has references outside
the firewall (where a proxy is required), Evolution's lower-right pane
showing the email body gets stuck and "formatting message" also sticks
on the bottom status bar... and I can't view any other email in that
pane until I restart Evolution.

How do I tell it of the proxy?

Thanks,

Chris
