evolution-data-server string freeze breakage



There has been an unannounced string freeze breakage in the string
frozen evolution-data-server gnome-2-10 branch.

It is this added message:

	#: camel/providers/imap4/camel-imap4-folder.c:913
	#, c-format
	msgid "Cannot append message to folder `%s': Folder is read-only"

        
The relevant part of the ChangeLog seems to be this one:

	2005-03-11  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj novell com>

	(imap4_append_message): Set an exception if the folder is
	read-only and don't bother trying to append.

(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution-data-server/camel/providers/imap4/camel-imap4-folder.c?r1=1.40&r2=1.40.4.1)


No warning had been given in advance for this addition. GNOME is in
string freeze, which means that prior announcement and approval of
string changes and string additions is needed, as described on
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#ApprovingFreezeBreaks.

I suggest that this change should be reverted from the string frozen
branch. If people disagree with that, then I would like to hear some
motivation on why this change is considered important enough to break
the freeze and why it cannot wait until the next development cycle.
