Thanks for the reply.  Is it even possible to configure this in
evolution?  The reason I ask is because I am looking into fixing/adding
this feature.  I wanted to see what other people were doing before I
brought this to the evolution hackers list.  I have not had any luck
with google or searching through the mailing lists for a solution.  This
mailing list was a last resort before I went to the hackers list.  I did
find a bug in the evolution bugzilla with a similar issue (529705)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529705.  It has not been
touched.
