Re: [evolution-patches] Patch for integrating exchange x-c-s with mailer.

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

In a word, absolutely not.

1. do not add what appears to be a hack to camel-url to extract some embedded url out of the url.  i dont actually know what you're doing here, & is used for cgi argument separation only.  This only appears to have been done so you can hack into em-account-editor, but that is unacceptable too.
2. e-config shouldn't need changing.  why exactly are you changing it?
3. you can't add owa specific hacks to mail-config either - thats the entire point of the plugin system.
