Hi Matthew,
Great! Thank you. I had a look at bugzilla and found that it is really
discussed and seems to be fixed in a future version. 
That's good news for me, as most of the people i try to convince to get
rid of their Outlook habbits are working with T-Online-server (German
Telekom) hosting millions of email accounts. Would have been very sad,
if all those users couldn't use evo (on Win32).

Hopefully there will be a new evo win32 build soon after the fix made it
in. (sorry, I am not able to build it by my own)

Many thanks for your support and for providing great software.

Thomas
