Re: Evolution still isn't working

[Bob Kashani <bobk ocf berkeley edu>]

Hi, Ronald. I had the same result as Guenther on gnome-2.2 w/evo-1.4.4
on RH9.

It seems that in gnome-2.2 all attachments get a default icon regardless
of the file type. It seems to have changed in gnome2.4 which might be
the reason why evo-1.4.4 is having trouble.

I guess we should wait for evo-1.4.5 to see what's changed as you
suggested.

Thanks,

Bob
