Re: [Evolution] Evo 2.24.3 bug list, by personal priority.

I agree with Pete. Internet mail, at minimum, means ALL mail outside your localhost or LAN.  In that context, 
it may simply be a synonym for what we have come to call email.

Outside of work, we send a lot of mail to friends and family that has nothing to do with a list.

Moreover, the architect/client conversations you use in your example is not "internal" unless the clients of 
the architects are co-workers on the sam LAN.

I don't think I agree that "Internet mail" is just mailing lists - most,
if not all, the mail I send and receive is "Internet mail" - not
everyone works in a corporate environment you know! There's things like
personal mail, academic communities, developer/FOSS communities and so
on.

BTW - much as I hate to point out a way around inserting the delimiter,
you can do it using a script signature.  Just remember that the script
needs to output HTML even if you use plain text email - and please,
start the script with "--&nbsp<br>".
