[Evolution] evoulution functionality

[Cecil McCoy <pcmccoy sweetwaterhsa com>]

I have been using Evolution myself for about three months.  My e-mails
are straight-forward;  butttt, in the last three days my wife has
started using it and now we find the lack of functionality.  (1)
Forwarding messages -- images "embedded" in the message body don't
forward.  I went to the different forums and, I guess, there are answers
to this problem, but why should I have to mess with something so basic??
I came to Linux and Evolution to get away from arbitrary functionality
decisions and have, apparently, ran into one already.  

I have an older machine with Ubuntu/Evolution on it.  I un-installed
Evolution from that machine; now it won't let me reinstall it. That
feels like something from the American state of Washington, Seattle
area!!  

I don't mind looking around menus to find different functions, but, when
they don't seem to be there...

I worked with Unix for years, in industrial distributed control systems,
and know it is very stable, but to be usable by more than "geek" types,
it has to at least as good as the above mentioned other supplier of
software.  I am not seeing that!!
