I have evolution-2.24.2-1.fc10.i386 and if I click on, say, the email
address in the To: header on the evolution-list emails to start a new
email, the  From: address that gets used is my default one - this is not
the account that the list emails get sent to (or retrieved from).

As suggested by Matthew Barnes I'll try updating to the version in
Testing to see if it helps.

It takes about 1-2 seconds to select messages in any folder - it's not a
lengthy time, but it is independent of folder size, network location,
link speed etc.  I can't see how it would be a 32/64-bit issue, but you
never know with computers! :-)
