Fine, Evolution users then.  I was not precise in my wording.  That has
no impact on my point however: this list is for _Evolution_, not
Ubuntu, and people here have no idea which versions of Evolution are
available on what version of Ubuntu.  In general giving the Ubuntu
release version is only helpful on Ubuntu lists: on other lists it
doesn't mean anything to anyone.

(Just to be clear, I use Ubuntu myself and have for ~13 years so I have
nothing against it or its users)

No it wasn't a private message.  It seems that way because my email
service is constantly being greylisted by GNOME (and only GNOME--I
subscribe to a LOT of mailing lists from all different areas and never
have problems with any others) so the copy to the list got rejected. 
Most likely this one will too.  Then in a week or so it will all be
fine again... for a while.
